Clifford Chance announces formation of US financial services regulatory group

Clifford Chance has announced the formation of a US Financial Services Regulatory Group, calling on the talents of eight partners from three practice groups. The group is led by partner Nick O'Neill and includes partners Jeff Berman, David Felsenthal, Steve Gatti, George Kleinfeld, Gareth Old, Tom Pax, Wendy Wysong and senior counsels Len Mackey and David Yeres. The team will also be supported by US litigation head David DiBari, along with partners Chris Morvillo, Edward O'Callaghan and David Raskin. "There have been a considerable number of regulatory reforms introduced by various countries since the financial crisis, as well as a significant rise in extraterritoriality," said Nick O'Neill. "These events -- along with the significant effect US laws and regulations continue to have on global commerce -- makes compliance an increasingly complicated matter for firms doing business internationally in the financial markets. By assembling our most relevant US regulatory experience and integrating it with Clifford Chance regulatory teams around the world, we can now more fully bring to bear our firm's capabilities in support of clients in the States and abroad."
