Financial Services

Our Financial Services Group advises a range of clients based in the UK and overseas operating in the regulated sector. Our clients include a range of financial institutions including fund managers, insurers, brokers, banks, building societies, financial advisers and corporate finance houses.

Our work in this area involves advising on general compliance with the Financial Services and Markets Act 2000, its subordinate legislation and the FSA's Handbook of Rules and Guidance.  We assist our clients with all types of FSA applications, processes and procedures including application for Part IV permissions, rule waivers, change of control applications and variations to existing permissions.  We work very closely with our litigation team in relation to FSA investigations and disciplinary issues and commercial disputes which involve a regulatory element.

The Financial Services Group combines both transactional capabilities in the financial services sector as well as our specific expertise in FSA regulation.
