In recent years there has been an unprecedented level of regulatory reform globally, regionally and nationally across financial services.
The myriad of highly complex new regulations, increasingly intrusive and coordinated regulators, and severe penalties for compliance failures or poor conduct, has a significant impact on regulated firms' strategy and operations – a state which shows no sign of changing in the foreseeable future.
We have a deep knowledge and understanding of the regulations themselves, and of the regulators who devise and enforce them. We are genuine market-leading lawyers in this field, and act as trusted advisers to our clients, providing advice that showcases our technical insight and practical commercial outlook.
We help our clients solve their most complex and sensitive national and international regulatory challenges (both proactive and reactive). Our world-class team is represented across our global network spanning Europe, North America, Asia-Pacific and the Middle East.
Our capabilities covers the full spectrum of regulated firms' key issues including regulatory change, enforcement and investigations, governance and risk management, compliance advice, market conduct, complaints handling, financial crime and the regulatory aspects of transactions or restructurings. Supporting this is our groundbreaking document handling and review operation which utilises sophisticated predictive coding to swiftly identify key documents across high volumes of information in a systemised and cost-effective way.
