Outsourcing & Financial Services - How to Avoid Regulatory Problems

Introduction

Modern financial services are increasingly reliant on outsourcing arrangements, particularly with the growth in digital transformation and cloud services.

Properly managing these relationships is crucial - both to the stability and resilience of outsourcing institutions themselves, and to their wider regulatory compliance.

This new virtual classroom seminar will provide an overview of the outsourcing rules that apply in the UK and EU and provide practical tips for negotiating and concluding outsourcing agreements, managing those agreements during their lifecycle, and ensuring the smooth transition or reintegration of services upon termination or expiry of those agreements.

The session is aimed at both financial services institutions looking to outsource functions and service providers looking to provide outsourced services to financial services institutions.
