‘Market leaders in banking and finance litigation,’ One Essex Court continues to handle complex, high-value domestic and international banking and finance work, being one of the go-to sets for teams of counsel from major bank panel law firms. Members handle the full range of cases involving banking, finance and consumer credit/PPI claims, including cases that intersect with questions of the status of European jurisprudence post-Brexit. Members are routinely instructed on the largest banking and finance cases, including Philipp v Barclays Bank PLC, The Consumers’ Association and UK Finance Limited, which saw Sonia Tolaney KC lead James Ruddell acting for UK Finance in the landmark Supreme Court appeal concerning the duties that banks owe to customers that have fallen victim to authorised push payment fraud. Lord Wolfson KC handles a broad range of banking and finance cases, having been instructed in major banking disputes, and Camilla Bingham KC covers banking litigation and arbitration cases both domestically and internationally. Emma Jones is noted by clients as ‘a future star of the Bar,’ owing to her specialisms in securities litigation for claims under section 90/90A of FSMA.
