I am the head of financial services and advise clients on regulatory matters across the retail financial services sector. With a particular focus on banking, lending, wealth management and retail intermediary firms, I regularly work with senior management teams to identify practical and proportionate responses to regulatory challenges.
My expertise ranges across EU and UK regulatory requirements regarding conduct of business, culture, governance and risk management, and I am regularly appointed as a Skilled Person by the Regulator.
Changes in regulation often keep my clients busy and I have been particularly active responding to changes driven by the developing FCA consumer credit regime, the Mortgage Market Review, and the Retail Distribution Review.
My clients range from large multi-national groups through to smaller, niche market participants, all of whom require an intelligent, bespoke solution to their own unique regulatory challenges.
At the weekend I can sometimes be found making a lot of noise with my band, which plays parties and functions throughout the South East.
