Our lawyers advise major and boutique asset managers alike, service providers, custodians, depositaries, fund administrators, insurance companies, wealth managers, corporates, pension funds, institutional investors and banks. Because we have such a broad practice, and such a wide range of clients, we’re not working in a silo, and whatever form of financial services you’re in, we’ll put this broad experience to work for you.
We’re in regular communication with regulators across different jurisdictions, and have the kind of close, constructive relationships with them that will help your business thrive. We’ll tell you what’s coming next, including new regulatory or legislative developments that are still in the works.
Beyond the regulations themselves we can provide you with a ‘heads up’ and clear, succinct summaries of emerging regulatory priorities, consultation papers, new ideas, or new types of fund and advisory services as they emerge. We know you’re busy, and this is the kind of burden we can lift off your shoulders. Our lawyers are thought leaders, and sit on several financial services bodies and trade associations - we know the industry inside out.
We’re team-orientated, approachable and nimble in how we work, and once we’ve established a small, dedicated legal team with the sector knowledge to suit your needs, they’ll stick with you. We take the time to really understand your products. Our clients see us as an extension of their in-house team, and that’s how we like it - as partners to your business. It’s not just one memo or one deal: it’s an ongoing relationship.
