Current Issues in Contentious Financial Regulation - Part 1

Apologies, but the wrong registration link was used in the previous invite. If you would like to register for this event, please use the correct link below.

Sometimes things don’t go to plan and when that happens, firms may find themselves dealing with difficult regulatory issues.

Our bitesize 20 minute breakfast briefings are packed with practical insights based on our recent collective experiences, designed to help you navigate these issues, understand the regulatory approach, engage effectively with the regulator and manage challenging situations.

In the first session on Wednesday 2 November Simon Morris and Elisabeth Bremner will focus on the FCA’s new interventionist supervisory style and what this means for firms. The FCA is now intervening more often and more quickly when it thinks that there is a risk of harm. This session looks at the new policy, how it is working in practice, and how firms can ensure they meet the regulatory expectations and protect against it happening to them.

This is our first live episode in our series with further sessions taking place on a fortnightly basis.
