Private banking and financial litigation
Our litigation and dispute resolution team acts for investors and service providers before state courts or arbitration tribunals in litigation as well as in pre-litigation phases and alternative dispute resolution processes.
Disputes relating to finance are often complex, cross-disciplinary, multi-jurisdictional and involve multiple parties. Our strength lies in combining in-depth financial and commercial awareness with expertise in legal proceedings.
Chevalier & Sciales also helps clients mitigate or prevent regulatory risks from materialising or excalating.
Our team notably represents investors in issues arising out of bank-customer relationships and litigation regarding compensation for substantial market losses.
