Sitting within Eubelius’ banking and finance department, the financial services regulatory offering has particular strength in advising on insurance products, alternative investment funds, market infrastructure, and payment systems. The group also offers expert assistance in compliance issues, including GDPR, anti-money laundering, and trading rules. The firm is singled out by one client for providing ‘insights into local regulatory updates and discussions.’ Practice head Lars Van Bever and ’very impressive’ senior counsel Jean-Marc Gollier oversee the work.
