SERVICES

Litigation Support

My litigation support services include expert testimony in banking and financial disputes, forensic research and analysis, and pre-litigation support.

For the past 15 years I have worked as an expert witness, providing expert reports on a whole wealth of banking and finance issues to the legal profession, for banking and corporate clients, for the Crown Prosecution Service, and for supranational bodies and central banks.

I have maintained up-to-date knowledge of the ever-changing regulatory landscape, new governance rules, and new financial products and instruments, and I regularly provides training and lectures to graduates, to bankers, to lawyers, to central bankers, and to the regulators themselves.

Initial analysis provided without charge

I am willing and able to discuss potential cases, and to provide initial analysis and assistance without charging, in order to ensure that I have the requisite knowledge and experience to be of help and assistance.
