What We Do

Peter Coyle heads CWD’s banking litigation team which comprises of three other solicitors and six paralegals.

Following Peter’s successful cross-jurisdictional work in the early 1990’s for National Westminster Bank, Coutts & Co and the liquidators of BCCI, CWD set up a new department in 2010 to serve a number of banks and lending institutions based in the UAE. The team handles the collection of over 4000 accounts (mainly credit card accounts, but also unsecured loans, personal guarantee claims and mortgage shortfall claims) against UK residents who left Dubai and the other Emirates when the financial crash took hold in 2008/9. We are currently securing approximately 25 to 30 UK Court judgments each month for our UAE banking clients including American Express, Emirates NBD, Rak Bank, Mashreq Bank, First Gulf Bank, Standard Chartered Bank and Abu Dhabi Commercial Bank.
