Expertise

Scope, depth & method

Financial and economic enforcement sits at the intersection of law, economics, and human behaviour. The rules matter.
But so does what actually happened, and why. Our expertise covers the full span of enforcement matters, with the depth to see what a single lens would miss.

Scope

EU (MAR, MAD, MiFID II), UK, US (Exchange Act, Dodd-Frank). The AFM, DNB, SEC, CFTC, FINRA, DoJ, French and Belgian authorities.

Shares, bonds, futures, mortgage-backed instruments, tradable rights, virtual currencies. Criminal, administrative, and civil proceedings.

Corporations, banks, market makers, funds, exchanges, and law firms. Partners, general counsel, board members.

Areas of deep specialism

01.

Disclosure violations

Insider trading

Who qualifies as an insider. When does legitimate sharing cross a line. Front-running, market soundings.
03.

Trade-based manipulation

Wash trades, spoofing, marking the close, pump and dump. The legal framework and the behaviour itself.
04.

Information-based manipulation

Benchmark manipulation (Libor, Euribor), misleading corporate statements, information flows.

Accounting fraud & bribery

Where financial enforcement overlaps with fraud and corruption. The stakes compound.

Expertise is not only what you know. It is how you look.

The dual lens

Reach us directly for confidential discussion of your matter.

Comprehension over procedure

We look past the legal surface to the data, the context, the sequence of decisions that actually took place.

Proportionality

Not every mistake is a crime. We show the difference between a lapse and an offence.

Clarity as practice

Complex analysis, clear communication. Whether for a court, a board, or a regulator.
