FSLA panel discussion at Fox Williams on Wednesday 8 November 2023 at 6:30pm

On behalf of the Financial Services Lawyers Association (FSLA), we invite you to attend a panel event which seeks to examine and reflect on the first 100 days of the FCA’s new Consumer Duty – a duty which signals a significant shift in the FCA’s expectations and seeks to impose higher and clearer standards for consumer protection across financial services and requires firms to act to deliver good outcomes for customers.

The panel shall examine the success stories and challenges faced by firms and practitioners tasked with delivering the Consumer Duty and offer some lessons learned for the future.   

The event panel will include:

  • Peter Finch – Partner in the Financial Services and FinTech team at Fox Williams LLP  
  • Rebecca Irving – Head of Regulatory Legal, Close Brothers Bank and formerly of the FCA
  • Mark Turner – Head of Regulatory Consulting, Kroll

The discussion will be followed by a networking event which is open to all attendees.  

The event will be hosted at Fox Williams LLP at 10 Finsbury Square, London, EC2A 1AF.
