Our team

In an increasingly complex regulatory environment, businesses face an intricate web of ever-changing and ever-growing regulations, with severe penalties for compliance failures or poor conduct.

Our cross-disciplinary lawyers help our clients interpret and comply with regulation across different jurisdictions. We proactively assist companies with managing risk, challenges and strategies in an increasingly regulated world. We also deal with breaches when they do occur.

We have particular expertise in:

  • Financial services regulation
  • Fintech and blockchain regulation
  • AML and KYC obligations and processes
  • Regulated investment funds, real estate funds and real estate investment trusts
  • FCA and FSMA regulation and disputes
