Financial Services Regulation

We provide advice to both local and international clients on a wide array of financial regulatory matters. No matter the issue, we have got you covered.

Experienced Team at Your Service

We advise leading financial institutions and dynamic new entrants in the rapidly evolving financial services industry. Our expertise spans various domains, including obtaining licences, registrations, and authorisations for local and cross-border activities. In our daily work, we maintain a close collaboration with our colleagues in the Finance, Capital Markets, M&A, Tax, and Technology & Data Practices, ensuring a holistic approach to addressing your needs.

We have substantial experience in the marketing and distribution of funds, having assisted over 100 fund managers with fund marketing rules and marketing notifications to the Finnish Financial Supervisory Authority. In addition, together with our fund structuring and fund formation teams, we provide advice on the establishment and structuring of investment funds. Our experience also extends to financial infrastructures, where we advise central depositories, clearing and settlement organisations, and their participants on derivatives trading, clearing, and settlement.

Your Business Comes First

When providing legal advice, we think of your business interests first. With our broad expertise, we proactively work with your strategic goals in mind, making sure that your legal and business interests are aligned. We always tailor the team to the needs of your matter and bring in experts from other practice groups at the firm where needed.
