Besong Attorneys

Our financial services regulatory practice delivers a seamless global service, providing clients with practical and commercial advice about the impact of regulation on their business and their dealings with regulators. We cover the full range of financial services regulatory issues that clients may face, on a multi-jurisdictional basis. We operate as an integrated team, combining contentious and non-contentious expertise across all that we do. With increasingly tough regulators and a growing risk of enforcement action, this integrated approach is invaluable for clients. We advise clients on legal regulatory and compliance issues across a broad range of areas including investment management, wealth management, private banking, investment funds, pension funds, mutual funds, private equity and retail banking. Our lawyers provide business critical regulatory advice to financial services businesses and others affected by financial regulation. We understand the global regulatory framework for financial institutions, including the core principles of regulation. We advise global financial services firms on emerging and complex governance, regulatory, compliance and enforcement issues. We provide our clients with business critical regulatory advice when acting on behalf of clients seeking authorisation of their businesses, during the course of trading (handling client monies, compliant conduct of business activities), in respect of their interface with the relevant regulators (inspection visits, regulatory filings, investigations and disciplinary proceedings), major developments such as substantial outsourcings, new products and business lines, restructuring, acquisitions and disposals, joint ventures, and end of life scenarios including business transfer schemes and schemes of arrangement.
