Sarah carries out both regulatory contentious and advisory work for a range of clients within the financial services sector, with a focus on firms that operate in the insurance market. She assists with a range of regulatory and commercial issues affecting insurance market participants including regulatory perimeter queries; governance and conduct of business requirements; regulatory aspects of corporate deals; distribution models; product development, and authorisation applications. In recent years Sarah has been particularly focussed on Brexit related issues and has drawn on the close relationships she has developed with counsel across the EEA to support both domestic and EEA insurers and brokers to navigate the post-Brexit world.
From a contentious perspective Sarah has a broad range of experience in assisting clients in their relations with the Regulators, with a view to mitigating regulatory intervention. This includes advising on supervisory reviews, regulatory enforcement actions, regulatory notifications, internal investigations, complaints brought before the Financial Ombudsman Service, and remediation exercises. In addition, Sarah has experience of assisting on a Competition and Markets Authority market investigation following an FCA referral.
