3 Verulam Buildings is ‘an exceptionally strong financial services set with excellent practitioners at all levels’, regularly acting for and against financial institutions, regulators and private clients across the spectrum of contentious and non-contentious work. Ian Wilson KC successfully acted for the defendant, opposite Lisa Lacob, in Farol & Ors v Clydesdale Bank plc & National Australia Bank Ltd, with the High Court deciding that Cyldesdale was entitled to charge break costs, and that it had not acted wrongfully in the manner it had priced and explained the loans to the claimants who entered into them. Saima Hanif KC is ’developing an impressive silk practice in financial services’ and is particularly well adept at acting for clients against the FCA.
