On behalf of the Financial Services Lawyers Association (FSLA) and Brown Rudnick, we invite you to attend a FSLA Academy series of training sessions on “Market abuse and associated FCA investigations”.
The series will provide a detailed but practical guide to the various criminal and civil market abuse offences. It will consider the elements of the various offences (e.g. insider dealing, unlawful disclosure of inside information and market manipulation), the compliance considerations that the regime raises for firms and individuals (e.g. the circumstances in which information needs to be disclosed to the market and who inside information can be shared with) and how market abuse investigations differ from other FCA investigations (e.g. the potential for dual-track investigations and the restrictions around the use of compelled evidence).
The series will consist of three sessions:
- Insider dealing
- Unlawful disclosure and market manipulation
- FCA investigations into market abuse
The sessions will be led by members of Brown Rudnick’s Contentious Financial Services Team accompanied by a different barrister, in-house practitioner or regulator for each session.
The series is open to all but specifically targeted at practitioners with fewer than seven years dedicated contentious regulatory experience. It is therefore also suitable for those practitioners who are more than seven years PQE / call but who do not exclusively focus on contentious regulatory work.
Each session will be followed by drinks and canapés, providing an opportunity to network.
Location
The sessions will take place at Brown Rudnick’s offices (8 Clifford St, London W1S 2LQ).
Dates
- Tuesday 30 September – Session 1: Insider dealing
- Tuesday 21 October – Session 2: Unlawful disclosure and market manipulation
- Tuesday 11 November – Session 3: FCA investigations into market abuse
Timings
For each session, registration will be open from 6.00pm and the session will start at 6:30pm, followed by drinks and canapés.
If you wish to attend one or more of the sessions, or have any queries or special requirements, please contact us at fslalondon@gmail.com.
