With strength-in-depth at both partner and associate level, the ‘hardworking and committed’ team at Hogan Lovells International LLP has the resources and expertise to handle a tremendous range and volume of regulatory enforcement matters and disputes for a stellar roster of banking and funds clients. Recognised as ’one of the titans of the financial services world’, Philip Parish leads, providing ‘calm and reassuring’ advice as a result of his ’total command of the detail’, be it with regard to market manipulation allegations against financial services entities or disciplinary actions brought against senior managers. The team is also at the forefront of work at the intersection between regulatory enforcement and the criminal law; Claire Lipworth provides tremendous insight to clients facing financial crime matters, including in the context of anti-money laundering (AML) systems and controls, by dint of her former role as Chief Criminal Counsel at the FCA. The ‘thoughtful and clever’ Elaine Penrose also has excellent insight into the inner workings of the FCA, having spent time on secondment there, as well as regularly taking the lead in internal investigations. Arwen Handley has particular sensitivity to the regulatory needs of banking clients, having spent many years at several different investment banks; she is particularly adept at handling whistleblowing investigations with regulatory implications.
