Frédéric Bellanca leads the firm’s Banking & Finance practice, structured into three main areas: Financial Services, Fintech, Financial and complex Litigations.

He handles both regulatory and transactional matters. His in-depth knowledge of regulations enables him to deal with complex issues and to draft sophisticated documentation.

Based on those skills, he also assists non-regulated operators, especially in compliance, business ethics and investigation matters.

His regular interaction with regulators enables efficient handling of cases, particularly in terms of timeline.

In addition to his regulatory and transactional work, Frédéric Bellanca regularly handles litigation cases in regulatory and disciplinary matters (AMF, ACPR, ECB, H2A,…), as well as in stock market, banking and financial matters, including before criminal courts.

The combination of his experience in the regulatory, financial and criminal fields also enables him to handle the most complex cases (liability, fraud, money laundering, corruption, market abuse, international financial sanctions, etc.).

He is regularly involved in international matters, both in terms of advice and litigation, and has built a network of foreign correspondents, all of whom are experts in their respective fields, particularly within the EEA (European Economic Area), the United Kingdom, the United States, the Middle East, Africa and Asia.
