Practice Areas

With some 30 years' experience, including 6 years advising the Financial Services Authority ('FSA')'s Authorisation and Approvals function as well as the FSA's senior management on reputation management and contentious issues, Harvey leads our UK Financial Services Regulatory Group.

Harvey advises senior executives, owner-managers and controllers as to their handling of personal and corporate relationships with regulators, other regulated firms and individuals. His practice involves regulatory approvals and permissions, supervision and conduct issues, internal and external investigations involving major financial services institutions, the Financial Conduct Authority (FCA), the Prudential Regulatory Authority ('PRA), the UK Listing Authority ('UKLA'), the Takeover Panel, the Institute of Chartered Accountants of England and Wales ('ICAEW') and the Payments Services Regulator ('PSR'), as well as civil and criminal cases involving the High Courts, the Serious Fraud Office (SFO), the National Crime Agency (NCA) and overseas regulators such as the SEC and NY Fed.

Over the last decade Harvey has been responsible for the first successful judicial review of the FCA (which established the principle of joint legal privilege in regulatory investigations), the first settlement with the PRA for a UK bank's CEO and last year, the unprecedented overturning of a FCA ban of a senior banker.
