Foot Anstey

Head of Banking & Lender Disputes | Dispute Resolution | Banking & Finance

James is a partner in our dispute resolution team. A specialist in banking and financial services litigation, his work often centres on a range of customer-led disputes which generate reputational threat against a highly regulated backdrop.

With a determined approach to achieving the best commercial outcome to disputes, alongside maintaining down to earth handling of sensitive matters such as mis-selling, fraud and SME disputes, he works on matters with industry-wide relevance.

As the economic climate tightens, complex recoveries, insolvency related/led disputes and acting for receivers is, again, a growing area of work.

As a consequence of his financial services sector focus, James has a naturally developed a practice and growing reputation in fraud (prevention, investigation and recoveries). This includes acting for victims, insolvency practitioners or the institutions seeking to protect their customers. He is the Chair of the South West Fraud Forum and also sits on the UK Fraud Forum.

James delivers regular industry-focussed updates through the Lenders’ Litigation Forum and recent training sessions include considering the hot-topics of Quincecare and secret commissions in broker relationships.
