Financial Services Disputes - The Third Annual Conference 2025
In-person | 24th June 2025 | One Whitehall Place
The 3rd annual event bringing practitioners across all areas of the Financial Services sector together to explore emerging trends and opportunities in 2025.
This event covers disputes across all types of financial service firms, rather than majoring on just one specific sector. The benefit to delegates being the opportunity to both enhance understanding and insights into current areas of practise as well as identify opportunities and trends emerging with other sectors outside of their primary focus.
Meet Your Advisory Board!
This event focuses on both Private and Public litigation. Accordingly, content will include a focus on recent regulatory activity from the FCA and well as private enforcement developments.
Benefit from an assessment of recent enforcement and case decisions over the past year and what the future direction of travel may look like.
Key topics will include the likes of group actions, the ongoing motor finance claims, and opportunities for CPR 19.8 actions.
Meet Your Expert Speakers!
Whilst event is largely UK focused, given the multi-national nature of many financial services firms, issues cannot be viewed in isolation. Therefore, both speakers and agenda content at this event will also include topics and developments from across the EU.
