- Advising individuals against a well-known American bank in relation to an unsuitable complex investment product which later collapsed
- Acting for a number of clients who have been mis-sold interest rate swap agreements
- Acting for an individual in litigation involving allegations of fraudulent misrepresentation and breaches of FSMA in respect of an investment project
- Representing a client in relation to a trade finance dispute
