We are currently looking for a solicitor to join our Financial Services Disputes and Investigations (FSDI) team, which is one of the few teams outside London to specialise in contentious work for a wide range of financial institutions, including most of the UK's major banks, niche mortgage lenders, building societies and international banks with offices in the City.
