Leveraging its global reach, Dentons is well-placed to advise on both domestic and cross-border investigations. Credited for its ‘truly collegiate approach’, the team handles regulatory and dual track investigations for a wide array of financial institutions, asset managers, banks, insurers and brokers. Praised for her ’solid all-round knowledge’, Katharine Harle regularly handles cross-border matters involving multiple regulators. Her workload covers enforcement actions concerning market misconduct, financial crime, CASS breaches, systems and controls failings, Principle 11 breaches, complaints handling, and governance failures. Louisa Caswell‘s recent workload has focused on regulatory regimes involving consumer redress, as well as high-profile judicial review challenges. Zeena Saleh’s focus encompasses systems and controls failures, corporate governance reviews, market abuse, insider dealing, financial crime, and non-financial misconduct, frequently supporting clients facing stringent regulatory supervision. The firm has been strengthened by the arrival of partners Andrew Barber from Pinsent Masons, and Joanna Dimmock from Paul Hastings.
