Understand Your Situation
A regulatory probe can end a career in finance. We fight to keep you authorised and in business.
Defending FCA Enforcement
The Financial Conduct Authority (FCA) pursues both criminal (Insider Dealing) and civil (Market Abuse) cases. An investigation alone can lead to the withdrawal of your 'Fit and Proper' status.
We defend you at every stage, from the initial information request to the Regulatory Decisions Committee (RDC). We argue that your trading was based on legitimate research, not inside information. We challenge the FCA's interpretation of market data. Our priority is to avoid prohibition orders and heavy financial penalties.
Insider Dealing?
We challenge the evidence of 'inside information'. Contact us.
Plan Your Defence
Dual Track Investigations
The FCA often runs criminal and regulatory investigations in parallel.
We manage this risk. We ensure that information provided in the regulatory track is not unfairly used to bolster a criminal prosecution. We protect your rights against self-incrimination.
Fit and Proper Test?
We fight to save your career and authorisation.
Legal Aid Availability
For many criminal matters, from police station interviews to Crown Court trials, public funding (Legal Aid) may be available to cover your legal costs.
Eligibility is determined by the seriousness of the case and, in some instances, a means assessment. Our team will conduct an immediate, confidential assessment of your eligibility to ensure that financial constraints do not stand in the way of a robust defence.
