BIOGRAPHY

Philip Rocher is the senior partner in the Dispute Resolution Group in Gibson, Dunn & Crutcher’s London office. He specialises in litigation, often with an international element, and regulatory and internal investigations. He has extensive experience in the financial services sectors.

Philip regularly advises on high value disputes arising from the full range of commercial activities and has taken many large and complex matters through to a concluded trial. In recent years he has conducted a three-month hedge fund fraud trial in the Cayman Islands, a ten-week fraud trial in the Commercial Court, and the two-week trial of the first phase of a ground breaking private sector equal value employment claim.

He has conducted numerous regulatory and internal investigations in the UK and internationally for clients in the financial services sector and in other industries, reporting the results to both regulators and boards of directors. These matters range from examining the conduct of senior managers in an investment bank, to major multinational regulatory investigations.

Philip was ranked as a leading lawyer in the field of Commercial Litigation in Chambers UK  2017. He is included in The Legal 500  Hall of Fame listing for Commercial Litigation and also recognised for Banking Litigation: Investment and Retail, Competition Litigation, Regulatory Investigations and Corporate Crime and Administrative and Public Law in The Legal 500 UK  2024, in which clients have noted “Philip Rocher’s depth of experience, sound judgement and ability to cut through the detail to the essentials provide an invaluable resource on any litigation team.
