Strategic Defence. Focused Prosecution. Expertise in Financial Markets.

At The London City Law Firm, Prestigious Law Firm we specialise in complex financial and regulatory matters involving the stock market. Whether defending against regulatory investigations or initiating claims under the Financial Services and Markets Act 2000 (FSMA), our legal team delivers precise, strategic representation for both individual investors and corporate entities.

Our Stock Market Legal Expertise

Shareholder Claims under FSMA
We represent shareholders bringing claims under Sections 90 and 90A of FSMA, targeting issuers for false or misleading statements in prospectuses or published financial information. Our firm helps recover investment losses resulting from corporate misconduct.

Defence of Issuers & Company Directors
We act for listed companies and senior executives facing civil, regulatory, or criminal actions under FSMA or the Market Abuse Regulation (MAR). Our lawyers provide proactive defence strategies, regulatory guidance, and courtroom representation.

Insider Dealing & Market Abuse
Our experienced team defends against allegations of insider trading, market manipulation, and other violations of FCA or MAR rules. We also assist whistleblowers and claimants seeking justice in cases involving dishonest practices.

FCA Investigations & Enforcement
We guide clients through Financial Conduct Authority (FCA) investigations, enforcement actions, and disciplinary proceedings. Whether you’re the subject of an inquiry or responding to regulatory concerns, we offer focused legal support.

Corporate Disclosure & Listing Rule Compliance
We advise companies on their obligations under the Listing Rules, Disclosure Guidance and Transparency Rules (DTR), and MAR. Our role is to ensure that issuers maintain accurate disclosures, avoid legal exposure, and protect shareholder confidence.

Stock Market Insolvency, Freezing Orders & Liquidation
A stock market-listed company can face serious legal and financial challenges, including:

• Insolvency & Liquidation:
  When a company cannot meet its debt obligations, it may enter liquidation. This process involves selling company assets — including investments and accounts — to repay creditors. In provisional liquidation, a court may freeze assets pending a formal decision.

• Freezing Orders:
  Courts may issue freezing injunctions (Mareva injunctions) to prevent the dissipation of assets in cases involving suspected fraud, investor claims, or regulatory enforcement. These orders can target bank accounts, shares, real estate, and other high-value assets.

• Liquidator Oversight:
  In formal liquidation, a court-appointed liquidator manages asset sales and ensures compliance with legal requirements. Shareholders typically rank last in the repayment hierarchy, meaning many may receive less than their original investment — or nothing at all.

Investor Remedies & Recovery
Investors affected by company collapse or asset freezes may have the right to pursue directors for negligence or fraud. Our team helps recover losses through litigation, collective actions, or claims against insurers or professional advisors.

• FTX (2022): A major cryptocurrency exchange collapse involving asset freezing, fraud investigations, and bankruptcy proceedings.

• Reserve Primary Fund (2008): A money market fund forced into liquidation during the financial crisis, triggering widespread investor losses.
