The newly formed Financial Conduct Authority (FCA) has appointed a line-up of law firms to its ‘Skilled Person Panel’, from which it can seek an independent view of the activities of financial firms under its jurisdiction.
Seven law firms have been appointed the panel, with roles going to Ashurst, Clifford Chance (CC), DLA Piper, Eversheds, Hogan Lovells, Macfarlanes and Pannone. The law firms join a number of accountancy, risk management and consultancy firms, all of which will sit on the panel until 31 March 2017.
