Market misconduct

Market misconduct can take many shapes from false trading, insider trading to the disclosure of information about prohibited transactions, and other similar actions where market interference results in undue profits.

With our business, technology, and regulatory advisers, we help our clients assessing their risks and designing, implementing, and maintaining the right conduct risk programme.
