Financial Services and markets regulation
London is generally recognised as the world's leading financial centre. Regulation of the markets by the FSA impacts upon banks, corporations and individuals both within and outside the sector. Our Regulatory practice specialises both in the contentious and non-contentious arenas.
We advise City professionals and Regulated individuals under investigation or accused of misconduct by the FSA, in relation to breach of the FSA's principles or insider trading and market abuse inquiries.
Building on our unrivalled experience in dealing with fraud and regulatory matters, we act for individuals and corporate entities on compliance issues, both in the UK and abroad.
We advise regulated companies and banks on their disclosure obligations. Many of our cases are high profile and international with significant consequences in other regulated markets worldwide. Our advice may entail a global review of a corporation's regulatory obligations, often broad-ranging, encompassing not only financial regulation but also data protection, advertising standards and anti-money laundering.
