London—Dentons, the world's largest global law firm, has been reappointed to the Financial Services Compensation Scheme's (FSCS) legal panel.

FSCS is the UK's statutory fund of last resort for customers of authorised financial services firms and provides compensation when those firms are unable, or likely to be unable, to meet claims against them. 

Commenting on the announcement, Richard Caird the relationship partner said, "We are delighted to be reappointed to FSCS's core panel and look forward to continuing to work with FSCS to help it meet its objectives during this panel period."

Casey McGrath, Head of Legal at FSCS, said, "We’re delighted to announce the results of the procurement process for our new legal panel. The number and quality of applicants made for an exceptionally strong field, which is testament to the quality and impact of FSCS’s legal work”.

James Darbyshire, Chief Counsel at FSCS, added, “Against a backdrop of continued economic volatility and a challenging regulatory landscape, FSCS’s role in helping customers get back on track when their financial firms fail has never been more vital. I’m confident we’ve got the right mix of legal partners to help us deliver an effective compensation service for our customers and levy payers today and in the years ahead.”
