UGGC Avocats offers tailor-made support to address these issues, thanks to its comprehensive, multidisciplinary legal expertise.
A key issue
Regulatory compliance is a key issue for players in this sector. Compliance with standards such as MiFID II, Solvency II or anti-money laundering and anti-terrorist financing requirements is essential. UGGC’s lawyers advise their clients on compliance, represent them in dealings with regulatory authorities, and assist them during inspections and audits.
New challenges
With the rise of fintechs and technological innovation, new issues are emerging, particularly in terms of cryptoasset regulation, personal data management or the use of technologies such as blockchain. UGGC assists fintechs with their legal structuring, helps them obtain the necessary authorizations from regulators and advises on the tax issues associated with their business.
The design and marketing of financial products are also sensitive issues. Institutions must ensure that their products comply with current legislation while meeting market expectations.
UGGC’s lawyers help structure and document these products, particularly complex financing and derivative instruments.
Litigation, whether concerning banking liabilities, insurance claims or financial products, is a frequent occurrence in this sector. UGGC defends its clients in these complex disputes, and also offers preventive solutions to limit risks.
Mergers, acquisitions and restructurings are strategic steps for many financial companies. UGGC supports its customers in structuring and securing these operations, integrating tax, regulatory and social considerations. These tax issues, particularly in an international context, require strategic advice to optimize financial flows and secure investments.
Major social issues
Finally, internal transformations, whether linked to digitalization or reorganization, raise major social issues. UGGC helps companies to manage the impact on employees, to negotiate with employee representatives and to ensure compliance in their labor relations.
With recognized expertise in banking law, insurance law, corporate law, tax law, labor law and structured finance, UGGC Avocats offers its customers comprehensive support to secure their activities and anticipate the challenges of a constantly evolving sector.
