William Robertson Email & Phone Number

Specialist in UK and European financial services regulation, supporting financial institutions and their investors on a wide range of transactional and advisory matters. The majority of my work is non-contentious but I also provide technical assistance in relation to s.166 appointments, FCA investigations and insolvency procedures. I advise regularly on acquisitions and disposals of regulated businesses, including wealth managers, insurance brokers and fintech propositions. Advisory work has included major regulatory change projects such as the Retail Distribution Review, IFPR and MiFID II, as well as the launch of new investment and insurance distribution propositions and prudential advice. I guide buy-side firms on compliance with the FCA’s Client Assets sourcebook (CASS) and conduct of business rules, and advise banks on credit risk mitigation techniques subject to the Capital Requirements Regulation.
