Financial Regulation Group

“I regularly advise asset managers, banks and other financial institutions on non-contentious financial regulatory and compliance matters. I have particular expertise and experience in sustainable finance, asset management and wholesale energy product regulation, both from a UK and EU perspective. In this context, I provide solution-oriented, pragmatic and commercial advice on a range of complex regulatory issues.”

Overview

Elliot is a Managing Associate based in London. Elliot advises across the full spectrum of non-contentious financial regulatory matters, with a particular focus on asset management, sustainable finance and wholesale energy product regulation.

He advises many of the firm’s key financial institution clients, often in the context of strategically important regulatory change (including Brexit, SFDR and AIFMD II implementation projects). He also works alongside clients to address ad hoc technical compliance issues, bringing to bear his experience and market knowhow to navigate complex, often cross-border, regulatory landscapes and offer practical solutions to complex problems for our clients’ businesses.

Elliot also gained deep insights into fund structuring and marketing during a year spent within the firm’s investment funds practice, working for both the London and New York teams.

Experience

Recent work highlights include advising:

various global financial institution clients on the scope and implementation of the EU Corporate Sustainability Reporting Directive (CSRD) and the EU Corporate Sustainability Due Diligence Directive (CSDDD), including the impact of the Omnibus Directive on clients’ entity and group level obligations in this regard.
asset managers, on both public and private side, on the application of SFDR across their fund offerings (including with respect to structuring, disclosure and reporting). Elliot has also begun high-level discussions with clients regarding the impact of SFDR 2.0 on their products, and has thus far provided high-level strategic advice and horizon scanning.
a major European asset manager on their AIFMD II implementation project, including drafting their bespoke loan origination and liquidity management policies.
a private credit manager on cross-border licensing considerations associated with lending business in the UK and Europe.
a quantitative hedge fund manager on the scope and application of REMIT II to their energy derivatives trading operations.
a significant cryptoasset proprietary trader and liquidity provider on obtaining Part 4A authorisation for cryptoassets derivative trading
