Joining Giles in the discussion are: • Laura John KC: A silk at Fountain Court who specialises in financial litigation and arbitration, and is instructed by major banks, their customers and other financial institutions.

Richard has 25 years' experience advising on complex finance, investment, fraud and insurance disputes and contentious regulatory matters acting for a wide range of banks, asset managers, hedge funds, and high net worth individuals in a broad range of domestic and international cases. • Sivan Daniels: A Partner in Addleshaw Goddard’s Dispute Resolution division in London and works predominantly within the finance disputes team. He specialises in complex finance, FinTech and financial crime related litigation.

During the webinar, our panel addressed the geopolitical events of the last two years leading to the trends and developments in group litigation including the interconnection with shareholder claims, s90 / 90A FSMA claims and litigation funding in the financial services sphere, as well as an update on crypto disputes including recent cases, regulation and jurisdiction developments and the scope for digitalisation.
