MiFID Guide
The Markets in Financial Instruments Directive (MiFID) comes into effect on the 1st of November 2007 and will make fundamental changes to UK financial services regulation. The directive is intended to create a common European rulebook, and impose maximum standards on the FSA (to try to avoid gold-plating). Changes to FSA rules will impact on firms who are not themselves within MiFID’s scope because FSA is often taking a standardised approach across all areas that it regulates.
Our clients have been busy planning for MiFID implementation for some time now. We are helping them by identifying MiFID’s key impacts, analysing existing processes and procedures, and identifying where they need to change. Our work is focused on minimising MiFID’s impact on business lines, where necessary by focusing the burden on processes and record keeping.

We have written a client-friendly MiFID guide aimed at Legal and Compliance Officers. It also includes an executive summary and a description of the “MiFID Opinion”, which will be of interest to executives in the financial services sector.
