Travers Smith received more than £2m in fees for its role on an investigation into what Bank of England officials knew about manipulation of the foreign exchange market.

Travers was appointed in March along with One Essex Court’s Lord Grabiner QC, to lead a review into the Bank’s practices, in response to allegations that some Bank officials allowed the manipulation of foreign exchange (forex) rates by bankers in the City. The six banks involved received multi-million pound fines.
