Offering ‘strong depth in insurance and regulatory matters’, Fountain Court Chambers has a well established reputation for their ability to handle significant regulatory investigations and enforcement actions, as well as financial services disputes of an international nature. Eleanor Davison continues to act for the former CEO and CFO of Metro Bank in an FCA investigation regarding the reporting of the bank’s risk weighted assets, with the matter due to be heard by the Upper Tribunal this year and potential for an appeal to the Court of Appeal regardless of the outcome. Robin Barclay KC, leading Leonora Sagan, is acting for Odey Asset Management LLP in the FCA investigation into allegations of sexual harassment of staff by Crispin Odey, a notable example of a non-financial misconduct case. Rebecca Loveridge, who is adept at presenting ’complex technical issues in a comprehensible prose’, acted for the London Metal Exchange in the judicial review related to the disorder in the market for nickel futures that occurred in March 2022.
