Legal 500 UK 2025

"'William Garner combines deep expertise with a strong commercial awareness. He has the ability to explain complex legal concepts in an easy to understand way."

William is a partner in the firm's Financial Services team. He has advised on the structuring and establishment of numerous financial services businesses and investment funds. He also regularly assists clients throughout the UK authorisation process and has particular expertise in advising clients on a wide range of regulatory, trading and markets issues and perimeter issues.

William has a diverse range of clients including exchanges (regulated markets, multilateral trading facilities, organised trading facilities), broker crossing networks and trading platforms, investment banks, brokers, proprietary trading firms and market makers, and investment managers in connection with multiple investment and product classes (including equities, fixed income, funds, commodities, financial derivatives, CFDs, commercial and wholesale FX, and crypto assets). His extensive trading experience enables him to provide legal expertise which is complemented by significant industry insight and an understanding of the practical and commercial realities of running a business involved in financial markets.

William regularly assists fintech clients in fitting novel and fast moving technological business models into the less dynamic regulatory framework (particularly in relation to payment services and crypto assets).

William is admitted to practise in England and Wales.
