In regulated markets, clarity is a competitive advantage.
What We Do
Financial Services Regulation
We advise financial institutions, funds, and corporate entities across the full spectrum of financial services regulation—covering both domestic and European frameworks. Our work spans the assessment of licensing requirements, the classification of business models and financial instruments, and day-to-day compliance support, enabling clients to operate with confidence in an increasingly complex regulatory environment.
Licensing and Regulatory Structuring
Our expertise includes the establishment and licensing of AIFs, UCITS, and AIFMs, the regulatory structuring of insurance undertakings and banking institutions, as well as strategic counsel on current developments including MiCAR and the evolving framework for crypto-assets. We also have experience advising on the orderly wind-down and liquidation of regulated entities, including banks and insurance companies.
Regulator Engagement
We assist clients in their dealings with the Regulator, the Financial Market Authority, whether in connection with licensing processes, regulatory inquiries, or ongoing supervisory matters—preparing and coordinating submissions and representing clients throughout.
EU Market Entry
Non-European companies establishing operations within the EU or EEA are a further focus of our practice. We help clients understand the regulatory frameworks applicable to their business, structure their market entry accordingly, and—where there are grounds to do so—effectively challenge regulatory requirements.
