Foot Anstey, a prominent law firm, has recently declared the addition of Sonya Zywko to its team as a Partner. Sonya's primary focus will be driving the firm's contentious financial services regulatory practice.

Sonya brings a wealth of experience to Foot Anstey, having traversed various sectors including private practice, regulatory bodies, and a leading investment bank. Notably, she spent nearly two decades at Norton Rose Fulbright, specializing in financial services regulatory enforcement and associated litigation.

Expressing her enthusiasm upon joining Foot Anstey, Sonya stated, "I'm delighted to join Foot Anstey's talented and forward-thinking team. I look forward to leveraging my expertise to propel the practice into the challenging regulatory landscape."

James Gliddon, Partner and Head of Banking and Lender Disputes at Foot Anstey, lauded Sonya's exceptional reputation and extensive experience. He emphasized her expertise in handling significant financial services regulatory investigations, enforcement proceedings, and advising on internal investigations and large-scale commercial disputes. Gliddon expressed confidence in Sonya's pivotal role in assisting regulated clients with risk management, investigations, and related litigation in light of the growing impact of regulatory bodies across sectors.

This announcement closely follows the recent appointment of Sam Elworthy as a Partner in Foot Anstey's Commercial Team. The consecutive Partner appointments signify the firm's strategic expansion and commitment to enhancing expertise across various legal domains.
