A London-based bank is taking legal action against Simmons & Simmons for allegedly failing to properly safeguard confidential information.
According to a claim form filed at London’s High Court, the Bank of London, a former Simmons client, is accusing the firm of failing to “put in place effective measures to preserve the confidentiality” of certain “sensitive” information, which it believes could be used against it in an intellectual property disagreement with a current Simmons client called ‘The Bank of London and The Middle East’ (BLME).
