In the inaugural episode of Ropes & Gray’s Non-Financial Misconduct four-part miniseries, Amanda Raad, co-chair of the firm’s global anti-corruption & international risk practice, is joined by asset management partner Eve Ellis and litigation & enforcement senior attorney Sarah Lambert-Porter to discuss the evolving regulatory landscape for non-financial misconduct in the UK financial services sector. The conversation examines the Financial Conduct Authority’s new rules, the impact of the Worker Protection Act, and the increasing regulatory and legal risks associated with issues such as bullying, harassment, and discrimination. Drawing on recent survey data and enforcement trends, the hosts highlight key risk areas for asset managers, private equity sponsors, and other regulated firms, including the importance of breaking down organizational silos, adapting to remote and hybrid work environments, and ensuring senior management accountability. The episode provides practical guidance on updating policies, strengthening investigations, leveraging data, and fostering a culture of compliance, helping organizations prepare for the new regulatory requirements.
