The focus of Felicity’s own practice is complex, strategic or high-value disputes, often for financial services clients and involving regulatory issues, but also across other sectors including energy, transport and infrastructure.  She has represented clients in capital markets, PFI, and derivatives litigation; on mis-selling claims; group claims; and in M&A disputes.  Clients value the strategic insight Felicity provides and her role regularly involves advising clients at executive level, including pre-litigation and on litigation risk arising in transactions.

Felicity EwingDentons

At Dentons, the banking litigation practice is viewed as ‘adept at handling large and sensitive banking and finance claims’, working with non-contentious banking colleagues at the team to provide clients support on regulatory investigations, derivatives disputes, ISA interpretation disputes, and securitisation litigation. The team often acts on multi-jurisdictional mandates, evidenced through recent advice given to a leading cloud-based software provider on potential regulatory risks. Felicity Ewing leads the team and has expertise in both group litigation defence and ESG-related financial services claims. Thomas Leyland is a key figure in the practice, notably acting for NatWest in its LIBOR swaps claims defence. Tom Hanson, ‘clever and responsive’, acts for financial institutions in litigation and contentious regulatory matters.
