Financial Services and Friendly Societies
We are one of very few law firms in the UK with genuine specialist expertise in acting for Friendly Societies of all sizes and types, and are familiar with the complex framework of law and regulation to which Societies are subject. We have assisted a number of Societies recently on issues such as compliance, transfers of engagements, new products, rule changes and governance.
Our experienced team also acts for insurers, industrial and provident societies, IFA networks, individual IFA’s, appointed representatives and asset management companies.
The financial services world is highly regulated. We aim to ensure that we manage the competing needs of compliance and regulation with our clients’ and their members’ expectations.
We pride ourselves on a commercial, practical approach and we will work closely with you and your other professional advisers to ensure your needs are met.
We advise on all aspects of financial services including:
• compliance with FSA and other regulations;
• governance and structural issues;
• mergers and transfers of engagements;
• joint ventures;
• terms of business, policy documents and other product documentation;
• complaints handling and disputes;
• agreements with introducers and intermediaries; and
• advertisements and financial promotions.
