Signature authors Lexology’s UK chapter of In-Depth: Securities Litigation

14 May 2026

Becca, Julian, Tom, Rory, and Alasdair provide an overview of the UK securities litigation landscape, drawing on their combined expertise to analyse the principal routes for investor claims, the role of regulatory enforcement, and the procedural and strategic considerations that commonly arise in complex securities disputes.

They also examine recent developments and the future direction of claims in this area, including the evolving approach to FSMA claims, prospectus liability, collective actions, ESG-related litigation and cross-border issues.

The chapter concludes with a key message on the outlook for the future: “while it remains to be seen how these reforms will interact with the broader regulatory and policy-making landscape at a time of political and economic turbulence, the new POATRs framework may act as a restraint on the commencement of new actions. The introduction of protected forward-looking statements is perhaps the most noteworthy development from a litigation perspective.

Signature has a market leading reputation for advising clients, including large institutional investors, on complex securities and financial disputes and group actions, including the recent s. 90/90A FSMA disputes involving Barclays plc and Standard Chartered plc.

Lexology’s global comparative guide provides lawyers, corporates, financial institutions, investors, and advisers with valuable jurisdiction-by-jurisdiction insights into the key substantive and procedural issues in securities disputes, authored by leading firms internationally.
