DLA Piper

Boosted by a specialist, contentious cybersecurity and data protection team, DLA Piper is well-placed to advise both regulators and financial institutions. The team is headed by Tony Katz, an ‘excellent, hands-on partner’ and a seasoned expert in contentious investigations involving the FCA, PRA, ECB, and other regulators across the UK, EU, US, and Asia, with recent work covering governance and AML system failures, independent reviews, and leading fraud, bribery, and ethics investigations. Sam Millar’s recent workload includes investigations into health and safety breaches, bribery, fraud, accounting irregularities, money laundering, market abuse, insider trading, market manipulation, and cybercrime. Stuart Murdoch frequently appears before the Supreme Court, supporting clients in issues arising in banking, pensions, asset management, insurance, fintech, and investment funds.
