(London) – Akin has won a significant success on behalf of BlueCrest Capital Management (UK) LLP in its challenge to two statutory notices issued by the Financial Conduct Authority (FCA).

On June 21, 2023, the U.K. Upper Tribunal agreed to strike out the FCA’s case in support of a statutory notice imposing a significant “redress” requirement on BlueCrest, and refused nearly all of the FCA’s application to amend its case.

The Akin team advising BlueCrest was led by financial services regulation partner Helen Marshall with counsel Joe Hewton and associate Phil Davies.

Akin is a leading international law firm with more than 900 lawyers in offices throughout the United States, Europe, Asia and the Middle East.
