Harriet Territt's practice is centered on banking and financial litigation, with a focus on disputes relating to complex and innovative financial products such as synthetic CDOs and credit derivatives. She also counsels and acts in disputes arising out of fund management disputes, syndicated facilities, asset-backed finance, and restructurings.

Harriet has particular experience in multijurisdictional financial disputes, including securities fraud litigation, and she works closely with Jones Day's New York FILR team on a number of current instructions, including Jones Day's representation of the various Lehman entities in bankruptcy.

Harriet also represents clients in connection with investigations and proceedings brought by regulatory and enforcement agencies such as the Financial Services Authority and the Serious Fraud Office, with broad experience in the application of financial sanctions regulations. She deals with related regulation and law such as compliance with bribery and corruption legislation, has undertaken highly confidential internal investigations and compliance reviews for clients, and has assisted with crisis management.

Harriet has extensive know-how in fraud-related litigation, including asset tracing claims and trust litigation. As a result, she has substantial experience in advising banks and trustees on the coordination of litigation in many other jurisdictions, including the United States, Italy, Brazil, and Russia, offshore jurisdictions such as the Cayman Islands, and the British Virgin Islands. Harriet has acted in a variety of claims in the High Court involving allegations of fraud and breach of fiduciary duty.
