Financial Markets & Instruments
Expert support for investigations and litigation—with specialized expertise in antitrust violations and foreign exchange markets
Bates White provides tailored economic guidance across a broad range of financial markets and instruments, addressing challenges related to alleged misconduct, fraud, or non-compliance with regulatory frameworks. Our expertise spans high-profile matters such as the LIBOR litigation, interest rate swaps, and foreign exchange (FX) markets.
We have supported antitrust investigations and litigation initiated by regulators, direct-action plaintiff lawsuits, and class actions. Our services include expert testimony and consulting advice in areas such as FX instrument issuance and trading, calculating damages from contract breaches, and assessing hedging practices against market fluctuations.
Multidisciplinary expertise across all phases of litigation
Our collaborative approach integrates expertise across practices to develop tailored, economically sound solutions for regulatory and litigation challenges. We assist regulators in investigating potential misconduct, translating findings into actionable strategies. Additionally, we support class action and direct-action plaintiffs by assessing potential damages at every stage, from the pre-complaint phase to litigation and settlement.
Our experience spans high-stakes, bet-the-company litigation as well as smaller cases with a more focused scope. We scale our approach to meet each client's unique needs, delivering practical, rigorous, and effective analyses designed to withstand scrutiny and examination.
