We deliver optimum regulatory solutions in every scenario, whether structuring, transactional, launches, marketing, routine compliance, investigation, audit or enforcement-related. 

Our team is well-known for its advisory and transactional work with the world's largest financial institutions, including banks, asset managers, broker-dealers, trading platforms, insurers, payment services and fintech companies. We are regularly engaged by such institutions on complex, high-value and multi-jurisdictional matters, ranging from setting up businesses and launching new products and services, to responding to regulators and managing change. 

Our team is at the forefront of regulatory developments, with extensive experience working with leading policymakers, financial regulators and enforcement agencies. Many members of our team have held senior positions within these organisations. This enables us to provide real insight into regulators' internal workings, the policies shaping their approach and any sensitivities to be aware of.
