Career
Ian Weinstein is a partner in the Firm’s White Collar Defense, Investigations & Compliance Practice Group, based in London.
Ian specialises in representing individuals and corporations in contentious regulatory proceedings. Ian has acted on a number of high profile and significant enforcement proceedings, including acting for a former senior executive of a major U.K. bank in relation to a joint PRA and FCA investigation into the collapse of the bank during the financial crisis and acting for a large retail bank in relation to the FCA’s investigation into its handling of customer complaints.
Ian also advises clients on how best to engage with regulators in order to avoid enforcement action being taken. He has helped a number of clients to prevent intense supervisory attention turning into something more problematic.

(Next Generation Partners)Despite the recent retirement of Peter Bibby and the departure of Chloe Pawson Pounds, the small partner-led team at Brown Rudnick LLP maintains significant visibility in the market, chiefly as a result of the ‘conscientious and thorough’ Ian Weinstein, who is now practice head. ‘Thoughtful and wise in tricky scenarios’, Weinstein regularly acts for senior executives and banks in FCA investigations and enforcements. He is also noted for his ability to ‘master even the largest and most complex financial services disputes and find the winning points’. Chloë Kealey is ‘detailed and forensic’ in her representation of clients both in criminal and regulatory enforcement actions.
