Partner David Corker has been quoted in the media on the news that ex-Barclays bankers have lost an appeal against Euribor-rigging convictions.

It held that were this allegation of bias to be upheld, it would entail that no one who had worked for a bank or who had followed business media reports about the Libor scandal would be eligible.”
