Combining ‘analytical depth with practical litigation tactics’, Linklaters is particularly well regarded for its skill at representing banks and funds in high-stakes disputes. ’Exceptional’ team head Guy Loesch is at the forefront of this work, and is also adept at assisting clients on the enforcement of foreign judgments, including arbitral awards. Appreciated not only for his deep knowledge of civil law and litigation but also his ‘keen awareness of the commercial realities at stake’, Loesch is also noted for his defence of auditors in professional negligence proceedings. The ’reactive and strategic’ Louis-Eudes Giroux is key to the team’s success for financial institutions, including those facing regulatory investigations.
