Sectors - Financial services
As the level of regulation in the financial markets continues to increase, we are advising a wide range of international businesses on their complex and changing obligations. Our lawyers work with both financial institutions and their customers on FSA related regulatory enforcement issues including the promotion of financial products, investment schemes, market abuse and the 'fit and proper' status of FSA approved persons. As well as this core financial services regulatory advice, we also often draw on the expertise of other Bristows teams in related areas such as data protection and IP & copyright. Bristows also has extensive experience in non-regulatory commercial dispute resolution in the financial services industry, including constructive trusts and tracing issues in the banking sector and disputes relating to exchange listed debt instruments and securities.
