Financial Services Regulatory

About

Provided by Arthur Cox

Our Financial Regulation Group advises on a wide variety of EU and Irish regulatory and compliance matters relevant to the financial services industry. We act for a wide range of Irish and international credit institutions, investment firms, asset managers, payment institutions, non-bank lenders and other financial institutions.

We provide advice on Irish authorisation and licensing perimeter issues, compliance with conduct of business rules, regulatory capital, securities market regulations, payment services/fintech, corporate governance, fitness and probity, AML and financial institution M&A (including the acquisition and disposal of financial assets). We also advise on regulatory enforcement actions taken by the Central Bank of Ireland and the European Central Bank and on industry investigations and inquiries.

We advise many of Ireland’s leading financial institutions. In addition, we have assisted many major international financial institutions on their establishment in Ireland and on their activities in Ireland. We regularly advise international law firms on Irish regulatory matters. The firm has also advised Government departments and trade bodies on specialist matters.
