We advised an FCA-regulated trader at a major investment bank facing disciplinary action and threats of gross misconduct dismissal for trading events that occurred shortly after he blew the whistle in relation to alleged insider dealing. We filed a protective Employment Tribunal claim for whistleblowing-related detriment and negotiated a confidential settlement that safeguarded his regulated status, career trajectory and financial interests, averting a full disciplinary hearing and potential regulatory fallout.

The team of BDBF lawyers acting in this case was Nick Wilcox and Adele Getty.
