UK financial services: Beware potential regulatory pitfalls from FSMA 2023/REUL Act interaction

In this FIS Horizons 2024 podcast, Hogan Lovells Counsel Andrew Eaton and Senior Associate Dervla Simm discuss the interplay between UK financial services regulatory reform and the Government’s wider ongoing initiatives to diverge from EU law post-Brexit. This includes an overview of the Financial Services and Markets Act 2023 and the Retained EU Law (Revocation and Reform) Act 2023, going on to explore how these two pivotal pieces of legislation interact with each other in a financial services context and what this means for financial services businesses in the year ahead.

Next steps

In 2024, we expect more than ever to be working closely with clients to engage with government to secure opportunities for meaningful change and to mitigate unintended consequences from the regulatory churn. While this all adds up to turbulence and uncertainty in the UK regulatory landscape in the short to medium term, it also provides an opportunity for businesses looking to shape their regulatory environment and engage with policymakers on how to improve regulatory outcomes.
