"Outer Temple Chambers has a top-notch reputation, and many of its members handle work at the interplay between financial services regulation, crime and civil fraud. In addition to advising on FCA regulatory breaches, the set's members regularly assist with cross-border issues, for example global financial investigations. In addition to well-established silks such as Michael Bowes QC and James Counsell QC, the set fields a strong selection of highly-rated juniors including Michael Uberoi; Justina Stewart, who comes from a financial services background; and Oliver Powell, who has recently been involved in several cases involving the FCA and SFO."

Outer Temple Chambers’ specialist Financial Services & Regulation Team acts in all aspects of financial services regulation – from early advice around issues such as whether or not the Perimeter Guidance has been breached, through to advising upon legal strategy and tactics in response to investigations brought by the FCA’s Enforcement Division, and thereafter through to representation before the Regulatory Decisions Committee of the FCA, and the Upper Tribunal. Our clients include financial and regulatory authorities, household name wealth management firms, through to IFA’s, mortgage brokerages and individual traders.
Our financial services barristers specialise in cases with an emphasis on commercial litigation and arbitration, civil fraud and regulatory matters, involving the Financial Conduct Authority (FCA) and other regulators. Chambers has for many years ensured that its junior barristers undertake secondments to the FCA, and this experience ensures an in-depth insight into how the Regulator operates and approaches contested enforcement proceedings.
Various members of the team are also contributors to the Encyclopaedia of Forms and Precedents (Financial Services), published by Lexis Nexis.
