On 26 July the FCA published its long-expected consultation paper on the extension of the SMCR to all FCA-authorised firms. The so-called "core regime" introduces the key concepts of regulator-approved senior managers, firm-approved certification staff and conduct rules applicable to virtually all staff.
Led by partner and ex-FCA lawyer Celyn Armstrong, who was closely involved in creating the regime when he was at the regulator, the discussion will cover practical topics such as:
planning and preparatory work tips to ensure a smooth implementation process;
the process of identifying who your senior managers should be and allocating responsibilities to them as well as dealing with disputes;
what will be required in terms of statements of responsibility and other documents; and
the impact of the extension of the SMCR and the regulatory reference regime on HR practices.

We are hosting an interactive workshop where we will run a mock High Court trial of an employee competition case – where the members of the audience are the judges. The session, aimed at in-house counsel and HR professionals, will offer an insight as to how disputes involving employees moving to a competitor play out in practice.
We are delighted to be joined by David Reade QC, Charlene Hawkins and Charlotte Davies of Littleton Chambers, a leading set of employment and commercial barristers' chambers. David Reade QC will play the part of High Court judge and the audience will compete in teams to see who comes closest to his judgment. We hope you can join us for what will be an exciting session and a wonderful opportunity to see leading counsel in action.
