Regulatory and Compliance

In recent years the Central Bank of Ireland has become a more intrusive supervisor of the financial services sector. This has led to an increased number of Central Bank inspections, investigations and enforcement actions, and in-turn has given a demand for increased legal and regulatory support to firms operating in the sector.
