Claims against Independent Financial Advisors
“Michael Kennedy and Julia Norris steered us through the legal jungle, enabling us to win our case against our former financial advisor. Throughout the process, their kindness, helpfulness and professionalism kept our spirits up, and always seeing light at the end of the tunnel. No matter how petty our queries might have been, by letter, phone or email, we were always dealt with spontaneously, efficiently and never kept waiting.”
Mr & Mrs E Preston
The past few years have seen a rise in financial services disputes, in response to which Pannone was one of the first law firms to create a specialist team within the Dispute Resolution group.
Our team has experience in acting for individual and corporate investors, pension and employee trusts. As Pannone does not act for any professional indemnity insurer we are uniquely placed to act in disputes involving large financial institutions.
We can offer assistance not simply in terms of court proceedings but also in the initial stages of a dispute so as to avoid the need to go to court wherever possible. Our team is also experienced in assisting in matters before the Financial Ombudsman Service and the Financial Services Compensation Scheme.
Pannone also benefits from an in-house financial advisor team that can provide advice and assistance both in financial services disputes and also for reinvestment of existing funds and legal compensation payments going forwards. For more information click here.
