2 Financial institutions operate against a backdrop of an ever changing regulatory landscape, global economic uncertainty and new market entrants. A co-ordinated global response to changing market conditions and regulatory requirements is at the heart of most firm s business plans.

Our team includes many lawyers who have worked for regulators including the PRA and FCA, providing a unique insight into key regulatory developments. We advise clients in different parts of the market. In banking we cover the full range from global markets and investment banking through corporate and commercial, wealth, private banking and retail. On the buy side we act for asset managers, funds, platforms and custodians and depositaries. Our insurance team covers life and general insurance as well as brokers and intermediaries. And we have a market leading reputation for our work with consumer finance providers and the rapidly developing world of payment services.
