Eversheds Sutherland (International) LLP

Forming a part of the broader financial services disputes and investigations team, which is headed by Gareth Vowles , Eversheds Sutherland (International) LLP provides 'knowledgeable and reliable' advice to stakeholders in the sector on both sides of the "v". Much of the claimant work arises primarily from secured commercial and residential lending, with the 'well-resourced'  team - aided by a very effective case management system - excelling in resolving large and small cases with an emphasis on innovative costs solutions (frequently acting on a contingent basis). Recently promoted to partner, the 'very experienced and astute professional negligence specialist' Wayne Davies  specialises in claimant work, regularly bringing claims against solicitors, surveyors and accountants, as well as handling associated title rectification matters. Senior associate James Coleman  excels in handling mortgage fraud cases on the claimant side, while also being very conversant with defendant work - including for banks accused of mis-selling financial products. Leveraging his vast e-discovery expertise, Nick Rundle  is also a key member of the team, particularly in the context of secured recoveries work arising from commercial lending.
