Brown Rudnick—Jamie Symington

Firm hires FCA's former head of investigations

Global firm Brown Rudnick LLP has announced the hire of new partner Jamie Symington, who has joined its contentious financial regulation team. Jamie previously spent 18 years at the Financial Conduct Authority (FCA), where he acted as head of investigations from November 2015 until his departure for Brown Rudnick. His achievements during his time at the FCA included the establishment of its criminal investigation and prosecution function, and he also has significant experience overseeing major regulatory enforcement cases.

He will be working alongside partner and head of the team Peter Bibby, who commented, ‘I am delighted that Jamie has chosen to join us to add further strength to our contentious financial regulation team bringing his vast experience of FCA's regulatory enforcement and criminal powers.  Clients will benefit from his wealth of experience and insight.’

Managing partner of the firm’s London office Neil Micklethwaite added: 'This is an exciting hire which further strengthens the firm's growing London disputes practice and shows our commitment to building a market leading White Collar and Government Investigations practice both here in the UK and Firm wide. I look forward to Jamie joining us.'
