ContactsOverview
We advise on the full range of laws and regulations that insurance firms face. We also help start-ups and clients who find themselves on the perimeter of regulation by developing practical solutions and helping them grow their businesses.
Our clients include many of the UK's largest life, health and general insurers and brokers, as well as corporates and tech businesses involved in the distribution of insurance products. We support investors with due diligence and in making change in control applications, and with new authorisations.
Key themes include: the FCA's Consumer Duty, the Senior Managers and Certification Regime, governance issues, conduct of business rules, product governance and oversight, client money issues, ESG compliance, and the use of AI in insurance.
We also provide support in regulatory investigations and enforcement action, FOS complaints, and disputes within the insurance market.
We regularly work on policy wordings and help develop innovative insurance products.
