AUTUMN REGULATORY ROUND UP.

With guest speaker James Frost, Vice President, Solicitors Professional Indemnity, of global insurance broker, Marsh.
James will provide an overview of the current professional indemnity insurance market ahead of autumn renewals and discuss some examples of what will and will not affect renewal with the focus on regulatory problems.
Joined by Alison Matthews, AML specialist, of Alison Matthews Ltd, to address the pressing topic of the move to FCA supervision – “What we know so far (and what we don't know)."
And Rebecca Atkinson, Solicitor/Risk & Compliance specialist of McArthur Atkinson who will provide an update on recent regulatory developments including the Carter Ruck hearing and AML developments including the Osmond tipping off judgment.
The sessions will be run under the Chatham House Rule, so questions and frank discussion are encouraged.
