Campbells is especially strong on the contentious side of regulatory matters and is the counsel of choice in such for numerous banks, investment funds, insurance companies and company service providers. CIMA enforcements, administrative fines, examinations, controllerships, appeals, and judicial reviews are all in the wheelhouse of the department that is co-headed by head of the litigation, insolvency and restructuring group, Guy Manning, and corporate practice leader Alan Craig. Another name to note on the contentious side is Paul Kennedy, while Jeremy Durston is a strong choice for cross-jurisdictional treaty requests and white-collar fraud mandates. James Austin-Smith is a further key figure.
