Banking & Finance
The banking and finance barristers at 11 Stone Buildings regularly provide advisory, drafting and advocacy services in respect of all aspects of banking work, covering both domestic and international transactions. They are regularly instructed by major UK clearing banks and are therefore very familiar with banking practice.
Their practices include all aspects of the bank-customer relationship, including both enforcing and setting-aside different types of personal and corporate loan agreements, mortgages, guarantees and other related security. They also advise and litigate in connection with electronic funds transfers and other payment instruments, constructive trusts and tracing of assets, bills of exchange, letters of credit, performance bonds, foreign exchange transactions, consumer credit, confidentiality and advice on investments.
Members of Chambers are particularly experienced in relation to transactions involving fraud and undue influence.
Barristers also carry out work relating to the regulation and provision of financial services (including the Financial Services and Markets Act 2000).
The company and insolvency work of 11 Stone Buildings also includes contentious and non-contentious banking and finance related work.
James Barnard is recommended as a leading barrister for banking in Legal 500 2008.
