Introduction

The financial services regulatory issues you might face during the COVID-19 crisis will depend on the type and makeup of your organisation, your company constitution, your organisation's purpose, key members and stakeholders.

REMEMBER: If you are a company or non-incorporated body you should carefully review your insurance policies and any exclusions to these policies¹, particularly around pandemics, health risks and viruses. If you are in doubt, we recommend that you seek specific legal advice.
