Banking litigation

The Banking Litigation team at Pannone LLP specialises in advising a variety of lenders, financial institutions and corporate borrowers on all disputes, including:

  • Substantial commercial and lending based disputes
  • Repossessions (both bulk mortgage possession work and substantially disputed matters, in the fields of both domestic mortgages and business lending)
  • Recoveries work
  • Insolvency-related advice
  • Professional negligence disputes against valuers, surveyors and the like

Our team also has expertise in international banking and trade finance including documentary letters of credit.

We understand the nature and mechanics of the financial transactions which are the subject matter of the disputes we deal with and regularly work with our non-contentious Banking team. This allows us to maintain and build on our knowledge base and therefore provide the highest and most comprehensive level of service to our clients. Our banking and financial clients include some of the largest national and international banks and building societies.

The Banking Litigation team has specialist expertise in the key methods of protection and recovery in this sector, including injunctive relief and asset tracing.

Our experience

Our experience includes:

  • Acting for a major UK bank in connection with a multi-party and multi-million pound claim by a former customer. The allegations included breach of confidence and breach of fiduciary duty against a former employee of the bank.
  • Acting for a major UK bank in a substantial and complex claim for the recovery of corporate lending secured by directors' guarantees. The claim raises questions about banking duties, the status of legal charges, collateral contracts and estoppel.
  • Acting for a merchant against a major UK bank which had withheld monies in the merchant's account. This is a multi-million pound claim involving restitutionary claims and issues relating to unjust enrichment and penalty clauses.
  • Acting for an individual against a major UK bank in relation to banking references provided without the customer's consent. This is now a leading authority on a bank's duty of confidence.
