FCA INVESTIGATIONS: PROTECTING YOUR BUSINESS

The Financial Conduct Authority (FCA) plays a crucial role in regulating financial services in the UK. If your business is subject to an FCA investigation, it is essential to have expert legal guidance to protect your interests. At Gherson, we specialise in providing robust support to businesses facing FCA scrutiny, helping you navigate investigations with confidence.

• Allegations of market abuse or insider trading.
• Breaches of FCA rules or codes of practice.
• Misleading financial promotions.
• Failures in anti-money laundering (AML) compliance.
