Regarded as ‘one of the very best banking litigation teams in London’, Hogan Lovells Cadwalader boasts ’an excellent team with strength in depth’. The firm is regularly instructed on ‘the most complex banking litigation that comes before the English courts’, effectively managing the lifecycle of financial disputes from initial regulatory scrutiny to High Court proceedings. Head of banking litigation Louise Lamb is a go-to expert for high-risk retail banking and consumer finance mandates, including precedent-setting class actions. She leads a formidable group that includes derivatives and sophisticated financial products specialist Philip Parish and Whiston Bristow, whose expertise in cross-border matters, particularly in Africa, is such that ’they know the African finance market in a way other firms don’t’. The team also features Elaine Penrose, who brings substantial experience in both High Court trials and complex regulatory enforcement; Jennifer Dickey, a dual-qualified expert in England & Wales and Hong Kong; and Hannah Piper, who is frequently sought after for reputationally critical and cross-border mandates.
