Irish Financial Services Regulatory

Irish Financial Services Regulatory

Our Regulatory & Financial Services Advisory team works in tandem with our European Funds & Investment Management teams advising clients on the impact of the EU's Sustainable Finance Action Plan for the European asset management sector, in particular the implementation of the Sustainable Finance Disclosure Regulation ("SFDR") and the Taxonomy Regulation.

We have collaborated with leading international asset managers and institutional investors domiciled or operating within the European Union to develop end-to- end SFDR compliance solutions at both the operational level and the underlying fund level.

Our Regulatory & Financial Services Advisory and ESG specialists can audit policies and procedures to identify those affected by SFDR and Taxonomy and best advise how those policies can be enhanced to integrate the consideration of sustainability risks into the investment decision-making process and overall risk framework, as well as consideration of adverse sustainability impacts.

We can advise directors and issuers of financial products of their duties and responsibilities with respect to sustainability-related disclosures, in particular the obligation not to overstate or misrepresent the environmental or ESG credentials of the financial product. We can assist clients by developing robust policies and procedures to avoid investor disputes and mitigate greenwashing risk.
