Partner

Marc Gottridge, the global head of Hogan Lovells' financial services litigation practice, represents some of the world's leading banks in major class actions, investigations, and commercial litigation.

In his practice, Marc handles the defense of financial institutions in multidistrict litigations involving financial benchmarks. He has assisted global banks in a wide variety of cross-border matters litigated in federal and state courts throughout the United States, including clashes between U.S. discovery obligations and the laws of other countries, complex issues involving the recognition and enforcement in the United States of judgments obtained elsewhere, and the extent to which U.S. law reaches extraterritorially to cover our clients' activities in other countries.

A former federal prosecutor in the Southern District of New York, Marc has over three decades of experience as a litigator. He is a skilled trial lawyer and appellate advocate in both federal and state courts. Marc has also played a leading role in internal investigations and investigations conducted by the United States Department of Justice, Securities and Exchange Commission, Commodity Futures Trading Commission, and state regulators.

Marc served as law clerk to the Honorable José A. Cabranes, then in the United States District Court for the District of Connecticut (now of the Court of Appeals for the Second Circuit).

The London Gold Fixing multi-district litigation. The FX antitrust litigation. Class actions involving alleged manipulation of LIBOR rates in several currencies. Bankruptcy Court "clawback" actions by the trustee of Bernard L. Madoff Investment Securities and the Fairfield (Madoff feeder) funds.
