Corporate and Commercial Law
Regulated Entities
We advise businesses operating in regulated sectors on their establishment, governance, corporate arrangements and interaction with the applicable regulatory framework.
Regulated businesses require legal advice that takes account not only of company and commercial law but also of the restrictions arising from their licence, regulatory status, ownership structure and governance arrangements.
We work closely with clients and, where appropriate, their compliance officers, auditors and other professional advisers to ensure that corporate decisions are considered within the applicable regulatory framework.
Our clients consist of Credit Institutions, Payment Services Institutions (PSIs), Electronic Money Institutions (EMIs), Alternative Investment Fund Managers (AIFMs), Investment Firms (IFs), Insurance Companies, Bureau de Change and Forex Companies
