Financial Conduct Authority (FCA) Investigations
The Financial Conduct Authority (FCA) possesses substantial powers to investigate breaches of conduct by businesses or individuals placed in charge of providing financial services. They can impose severe penalties that can have a devastating impact on a company.
If you, or your business, is being investigated by the FCA, it is important to seek legal advice and guidance at the first possible opportunity. Contact our solicitors today by calling 0161 827 9500, or by filling in our contact form.
