We have a broad range of experience advising and acting in matters relating to retail and investment banking, financial transactions including digital assets and financial services regulation.
In retail banking matters, Lamb Chambers members deal with issues relating to mortgages, securities, consumer credit agreements, payment disputes, e-banking bonds and guarantees. We also have a great deal of experience dealing with debt-factors and asset based lending disputes.
Many of our members have particular experience of development finance for construction, engineering and infrastructure projects.
We provide advice in relation to the regulation of financial services under the Financial Services and Markets Act 2000 (“FSMA”) and associated legislation.
