Regularly called upon by international banks, Mayer Brown International LLP fields extensive expertise in financial regulation and sanctions. ESG matters are also a key aspect of the ‘strong and developed’ team’s caseload. Ian McDonald leads, with a wealth of experience advising on loan structure, structured finance, and derivatives disputes. Chris Chapman and Mark Stefanini are other key contacts for financial institutions and large corporates. Airlie Goodman brings to the team cross-border expertise in cases such as breach of contract claims, and the addition of Sarah Garvey from A&O Shearman in October 2023 strengthened the team’s multi-jurisdictional offering. Finance disputes specialist Stephen Moi represents financial institutions in the full range of litigation, from fraud and mis-selling claims to contentious restructurings. Chris Roberts focuses his practice on financial crime, while Lauren Theodoulou is an expert in financial products disputes.
