In the world of financial services law, the only constant is change.  Regulators, both at national and international level, are perpetually updating and revising their rules and requirements, and our clients face the ongoing challenge of keeping up with, and staying ahead of, regulatory change.

Dominic Hill is a partner in the Financial Services team and concentrates on financial services regulation.  He advises on all aspects of financial services law, including the rules and guidance of the Prudential Regulation Authority (PRA), Financial Conduct Authority (FCA) and European regulatory bodies.  

The Financial Services team provides advice to all types of financial institutions, which include banks, investment firms, wealth managers, asset managers, insurance companies and financial intermediaries.  The products we advise on include securities, derivatives, funds and insurance (life and non-life).

We do more, however, than just interpret rules and regulations.  We are, above everything, including commercial lawyers.  For regulated firms, the requirements and demands of the regulators pervade all aspects of their business, and our advantage is that we are about to provide advice on commercial and legal issues in the context of that detailed regulatory background.  Dominic frequently advises clients on the commercial transactions that they enter into - such as; outsourcing and agreements relating to product distribution, custody and investment management.

In addition to responding to regulatory change, we also aim to anticipate, and where possible influence, future change.  With over fifteen years' experience in this area, Dominic proactively guides his clients before new regulations enter into effect.  Where necessary, he helps clients during the development of regulation and has successfully assisted clients in modifying problematic proposals and reaching practical solutions to the challenges they present.
