Financial Services
The financial sector is evolving rapidly: regulatory, technological and market changes all present both opportunities and risks. We provide strategic advice and insight that helps our clients to navigate this changing commercial landscape.

With offices in Edinburgh, London, Glasgow and Aberdeen, we are literally close to our clients. They include commercial and investment banks, mortgage lenders, fintechs, asset managers, pension funds, insurers, and specialist funders and servicers.

Our financial sector teams include specialists in many different legal areas across the firm, with in-depth knowledge of the financial sector as a whole and the particular industries in which our clients operate. As a result, we offer truly commercial and practical advice that aligns with those clients’ strategic priorities.

We also understand the bigger picture. Market changes, such as the rise of private equity and credit funds as growing alternatives to the public markets and the banks. Differences in regulation from one area to the next – or the absence of regulation – and government-level concerns about how the regulatory environment might be reformed to facilitate growth while maintaining appropriate protections. Technological developments, including increasing automation and AI. All of these things create opportunities while also presenting challenges, and by giving a legal perspective we help our clients to move forward with confidence.

We have expertise in all areas of financial services, including:
