We have extensive experience of handling regulatory and compliance enquiries both nationally and internationally. We act in many FSA and DTI/BIS inquiries and also represent clients under investigation by foreign regulatory authorities in the US, Hong Kong, Australia, France, Ireland and Switzerland.

  • Disciplinary proceedings for approved persons
  • Allegations of market abuse and other market misconduct
  • Disciplinary proceedings brought by professional bodies against professionals
  • HMRC tax investigations
  • Investigations by overseas regulators
