Michael is a financial institutions lawyer advising clients across the banking and payments industry, from large and established financial institutions to small FinTech start-ups, on new legislation as well as the current direction of travel. He helps to foresee issues and develop commercial solutions, whether launching new products to reviewing existing products and processes for compliance with incoming legislation.

Michael is also able to assist on all sector specific regulation including the Consumer Credit Act, the Payment Services Regulation, BCOBS, CONC and MCOB as well as the impact of unfair terms, consumer rights, data protection and AML on the financial services sector.

He also brings his regulatory knowledge to transactional activities, such as loan portfolio acquisitions, disposals, and outsourcing agreements.

Michael has spent time on secondment in the legal departments of a major UK bank and a global payments company, and previously held a non-legal role at a UK building society.
