Mishcon de Reya LLP has ‘built up a well-deserved reputation for high-quality advice’ on behalf of senior individuals at wholesale and retail financial services firms and is regularly called upon to represent them in matters of the utmost importance. Many of these relate to allegations of market abuse, with the firm noted for its robust representation and willingness to take on the FCA, progressing matters before the key decision makers. Adam Epstein heads the practice and is described by clients as a ’doyen of the financial services’ market. Guy Wilkes has a ‘good understanding of the regulator’, having previously headed a department within FCA enforcement; he uses this insight to good effect for individuals and entities, including as it relates to alleged AML infractions. Senior associate Elizabeth Hope ’knows the industry well’ and has niche expertise handling cases at the intersection between employment law and the FCA rules.
