The team is frequently engaged by regulators and law enforcement bodies, providing guidance on the exercise of their powers, drafting submissions, and representing them in litigation. Jon Legorburu has longstanding experience of managing investigations and litigation for financial services, healthcare, and insurance sector clients, and jointly heads the team with Sean O’Donnell, who focuses on contentious regulatory issues.
