Insider Trading & Market Abuse Solicitors

Our team has recently helped high level individuals and firms being investigated for the following types of market abuse:

• Insider trading - When a person intends to trade on the basis of inside information they have acquired.
• Improper disclosure - This is where an insider improperly reveals inside information to another person. This can be verbal or printed information.
• Misuse of information - Where your behaviour is based on information that is not generally available but would influence a decision about whether or not to invest or trade.
• Manipulating transactions - Trading, or placing orders to trade, that gives a false or misleading impression of the products or supply, raising the price of the investment to an abnormal or artificial level.
• Manipulating devices - Trading, or placing orders to trade, which employs fictitious devices or any other form of deception.
• Dissemination - Passing on information that conveys a false or misleading impression about an investment or the issuer of an investment when you know the information to be false or misleading.
• Distortion and misleading behaviour - When you give false or misleading impressions of either the supply of, or demand for, an investment; or behaviour that otherwise distorts the market in an investment.
