Mark Hick leads a cross-firm, sector-focused team that brings together financial services expertise from a complete range of legal disciplines. More than 20 partners advise major corporates, banks, insurers and other financial services clients on corporate, IT, outsourcing, commercial, intellectual property (IP), employment, pensions, dispute resolution, real estate, finance and pensions law issues.

Wragge & Co knows this sector. Fourteen of its top 30 clients are directly authorised by the Financial Services Authority (FSA) or have a subsidiary that is. A dedicated sector team means that these lawyers understand the mix of commercial and regulatory pressures facing this rapidly moving market.

Members of the team have previously worked in-house, enhancing its focus on providing a mix of commercially astute and technically excellent advice. This insight shapes the team's approach to client communications – providing regular updates on legal developments and any practical steps clients should take.
