Tim Buckingham is a specialist regulatory, compliance and risk lawyer, and managing partner of Buckingham & Buckingham LLP, a boutique compliance, regulatory and corporate advice law firm based in the centre of London but with a global client base.
Tim has worked for some of the largest law firms in the world, where he led the payments teams and built a reputation as a specialist in the various payment methodologies, from credit cards to e-wallets to cryptocurrencies. Tim was the lead lawyer in the successful case of Barclays Bank PLC â v â Lancore, the primary European case on the obligations of a payment processor to settle credit card funds to a merchant. The case has been subsequently used in the interpretation of both the original PSD and PSD2.
Tim also dealt with the collapse of Thomas Cook on behalf of a payment processor, dealing with a mix of Scheme queries from Visa and MasterCard as well as interacting with insurers, banks, customers and the insolvency practitioners, assisting in the development of a bespoke chargeback and dispute handling service. Tim took that experience and launched Buckingham Advisory Services Ltd, a company which specialises in bespoke chargeback and alerting solutions tailored to the gaming industry.
Tim is a regular speaker at industry events as well as a contributor to journals and industry publications.
