In the session, financial regulatory specialist lawyers Oliver Assersohn KC, Chris Brennan and Zeena Saleh will speak of their experiences acting for and defending firms, including how to best respond to the FCA’s use of its own initiative powers and (if so required) how to apply to the Upper Tribunal for suspension of the effect of the FCA’s actions and/or privacy. It is inherent in the subject matter that there is very little published guidance and whilst any examples will necessarily be discussed in entirely anonymised form the talk will cover areas vital to navigating an increasingly challenging regulatory landscape.
Oliver Assersohn KC is a barrister at XXIV Old Buildings and Chris Brennan (Partner) and Zeena Saleh (of Counsel) are solicitors at Dentons, and all have a wealth of experience in this area. Chris and Zeena have frequently instructed Oliver and so the three are a well-established team having successfully acted together for numerous clients facing the FCA’s use of its own initiative powers.
