banking litigation
network
The Banking Litigation Network is a network of law firms from around the world with specialist experience of acting for clients in disputes with banks and other financial institutions. There are no subscription or conference fees for members.
The main objective of the network is to provide members with ready access to a law firm in another country, that the member might wish to appoint for assistance on a client’s behalf.
Each member firm has extensive experience of handling claims against banks and other financial institutions, but the network is non-exclusive and there is no obligation to refer cases to each other.
The network currently has members in over 30 jurisdictions, each firm having extensive experience of handling claims against banks and other financial institutions.
No membership or conference fees
Unlike most other lawyers networks, there is no fee for membership nor for attending the annual conference (which is voluntary).
An active flow of referrals
There have been a large number of referrals between members. The network is, however, non-exclusive and there is no obligation to refer cases to each other.
Access to high quality international advisers
Each member firm has extensive experience of handling claims against banks and other financial institutions, and members can be confident in the quality of advice and service their counterparts will provide.
Global Information Sharing
Member firms are able to exchange information and best practice of interest to other members – examples are claims against banks relating to interest rate swaps and the manipulation of LIBOR, EURIBOR and FOREX benchmarks.
The full membership also meets annually for a conference, hosted in a different member country each year. There have also been regular virtual forum meetings.
Avoiding conflicts of interest
In many countries a very large number of law firms are not willing to act in disputes with banks and other financial institutions due to conflicts of interest or commercial reasons. The Banking Litigation Network was formed to solve this problem.
Using The Banking Litigation Network a member should have ready access to a law firm in another country that can assist on a client’s behalf.
