Financial Services

The name Addleshaw Goddard is synonymous with the Financial Services sector, and so the range and scale of our work is extensive.

The pace of regulatory change, combined with globalisation and advances in technology, has brought fresh challenges to financial services businesses. Minimising legal risk and at the same time keeping a commercial perspective is critical in today's environment.

Whatever your requirement, we are committed to delivering great value and high quality market expertise which is focused, relevant and consistently excellent.

Our traditional strengths and integrated approach across our specialist areas of expertise provide a compelling proposition for a wide range of clients including banks, asset managers, building societies, insurers, payments institutions and other market participants covering all elements of commercial, retail and corporate banking.

Very simply, our experience and insight within the financial services industry means our advice is not only technically first-class, but practical and commercial, and grounded in the market in which you operate.
