Addleshaw Goddard

Plus d’information
Helmed by the ‘exceptional’ Ben Lowans, the ’experienced knowledgeable and enthusiastic’ team at Addleshaw Goddard‘s Leeds office is instructed by a broad array of financial institutions, ranging from high street banks to asset finance lenders and asset-based lenders. Core areas of activity include secret commission claims in motor finance, misselling of mortgage product cases and the tracing and recovery of assets. Lowans’ broad practice runs to fraud-based litigation for financial services clients. Jennifer Hedley is well-placed to assist with reputational issues in high-profile disputes involving financial institutions. Sandip Singh and Matthew Dibb are further names to note. Sally Emerton retired in August 2023.
