Market report: banking litigation
The In-House Lawyer (IHL): What has been keeping you busy in banking litigation over the past 12 months?
James Norris-Jones (JN-J): When we were talking to banks maybe 18 months ago, a common message was that they just were not seeing a lot of banking litigation and that they were focused on contentious regulatory and investigations-type work. Certainly, the wave of banking litigation following the financial crisis seemed to have abated. However, we’ve seen a significant uptick in litigation work in the last year.
