FIDLEG / FINIG

The new regulatory framework will raise various issues in terms of authorization requirements as well as ongoing compliance with new rules for different financial service providers. We provide you guidance in the changing regulatory environment by reviewing your business model against the regulatory requirements, submitting licensing applications, updating your internal guidelines and supporting you with any other questions that might arise.

Our team consists of experts with longstanding experience in regulatory matters, in particular in licensing procedures before FINMA and compliance issues. We maintain excellent relations with FINMA and other relevant service providers, facilitating shorter processes and preventing avoidable detours. Due to our close collaboration with the corporate and tax teams, our holistic approach allows us to provide tailor-made solutions to your complex legal questions, while always being dedicated to answer all of your legal questions thoroughly and efficiently.

Financial services often do not stop at the border. Our longstanding ability to render advice on cross boarder issues ascertains adequate and individualized support not only regarding the implementation of Swiss regulatory requirements, but also with respect to the applicable EU standards. Our international law firm has a broad range of practical knowledge regarding the implementation of MiFID II / MiFIR in the EU. In particular, we work closely with our EU law experts in our offices in Belgium, Luxembourg and the Netherlands, simplifying all work streams and communication by giving you one point of contact for all your Benelux and Swiss regulatory matters.
