The Insurance Risk and Regulatory team has significant growth plans and is looking to expand its leading regulatory business. </p><p></p><p>We are looking for individuals at Manager grade who have relevant experience and knowledge of conduct &amp; compliance regulation in the insurance market to advise and deliver regulatory change projects to our large number of clients in this sector.

Recently firms have had to adapt their business models to changes arising from Brexit, the challenges of Covid-19 (both operationally and financially), and the enduring low yield environment. As well as an ever changing macro environment, insurers and brokers are having to navigate complex regulation whilst seeking to achieve their strategic goals in a competitive market. The treatment of vulnerable customers, plans on consumer duty, new rules for general insurers on pricing and the long term effects of pension freedoms for life insurers are just some of the areas where compliance and regulatory specialists are having to guide businesses on the requirements and expectations of regulators.</p><p>Further change is also coming. The UK government continues to look to position the UK for long-term growth and to enhance international competitiveness in a post-Brexit era, including reviewing the role of regulators and the current suite of regulation. Operational resilience requirements are being rolled out and climate change, culture, and inclusion and diversity are areas of regulator focus, raising the bar of expectation for market participants. Firms are keen to understand these upcoming regulatory changes and will require support in implementing them.</p><p></p><p>Capital providers continue to seek opportunities within the insurance sector, leading to investment and M&amp;A activity, as such there is a high demand for regulatory diligence and post-deal services.
