In this podcast, Monica Sah (Regulatory Partner) and Nicholas Grafton-Green (Contentious Regulatory Senior Associate) talk about one of the most significant disruption events to the global economy witnessed in recent years – the worldwide Coronavirus outbreak. 

As the epidemic continues to gather pace, firms in the financial services sector are thinking about its impact on their service delivery and their customers.

While a difficult and stressful time for any business, regulated firms such as banks, asset managers and insurers are expected to ensure that their Coronavirus contingency planning meets not just the complex challenges raised by this event but also increasingly stringent regulatory standards, particularly with respect to their operational resilience arrangements. 

In light of these standards and reflecting on recent enforcement cases, Monica and Nick explore what firms should be bearing in mind in terms of their Coronavirus contingency planning.
