Regulatory

We understand the enormity of the regulatory burden upon business.  We are experienced in advising our clients how to navigate the regulatory hurdles they face, with a particular emphasis on those clients in the legal sector and in financial services.  Clients have to deal with implementing and enforcing anti-corruption policies and anti-money laundering policies. We advise on all of these issues.  We focus on regulatory compliance and designing and implementing policies, procedures and practices to achieve this.
 
Clients look to us to minimize the risks, commercial, legal and reputational which can arise from regulatory enforcement. Where clients have enforcement issues we can assist with investigations and are familiar with the data protection and employment law issues which arise.  We often work in conjunction with forensic accountants.  We have a long history of representing clients in disputes with their regulators, particularly the FSA, and this remains a growth area of our business.  Peter Wright, formerly a senior litigator and compliance lawyer with the FSA, has recently joined us to strengthen our regulatory team.
