Financial regulation quarterly, Autumn 2026
19 October 2026
Welcome to the first edition of Browne Jacobson's Financial Regulation Quarterly, our new newsletter bringing you concise, practical insight on the regulatory developments that matter most to your business.
In this edition, we examine what non-financial misconduct cases such as Odey v FCA mean for firms and individuals navigating the FCA's conduct expectations. We consider what the FCA's approach to Annex 1 firms means in practice and what those firms need to know. We analyse the implications of the FCA's proposed expansion into supervising legal and accounting firms - a significant move that will bring 60,000 additional firms under its regulatory purview. Our team also sets out a practical guide to the FCA's change in control regime for firms approaching transactions or restructuring. Finally, we explore the FCA's crypto regulatory overhaul and what it means for firms operating in, or entering, the digital assets space.
We hope you find it useful.
