Financial Services
Practice areaFinancial regulation has become increasingly complex and comprehensive. The regulatory landscape is constantly changing, and nothing indicates that this trend will stop for the time being. Consequently, it has become more complex and difficult to mitigate the risks involved in operating regulated activities. Lack of compliance may result in both reputational damage and public sanctions.
Based on highly specialised knowledge accumulated over many years, we assist our clients navigate securely through this constantly changing regulatory landscape.
We provide ongoing advice on compliance issues, including on the limits of regulated and unregulated activities, application processes and communication with public authorities as well as supervisory cases in various areas.
We collaborate closely with our clients to understand their strategic goals and to achieve such goals through tailored and durable solutions, not only with a view to complying with the law but also for the purpose of minimising the risks of reputational damage and securing stable operations under the applicable regulation.
We advise all types of financial undertakings and have been involved in some of the most complex business critical, socially critical and important cases over the years.
