EU financial services in a post-Brexit world

With Digital Finance proposals, corporate governance reforms, and new market rules in play, the sector is under more scrutiny than ever. DeHavilland’s financial services clients are one step ahead, taking advantage of real-time updates and personalised reporting.

DeHavilland political intelligence for financial services

Monitor at the speed of politics

Financial services are heavily regulated, with new requirements emerging almost daily. From corporate sustainability due diligence and the digital euro to consumer protection and cross-border payments reform, staying ahead is key.

DeHavilland offers comprehensive coverage of EU business and financial policy. Our DeHavilland’s consultants provide insights into Commission initiatives, updates from co-legislators, and reports from key agencies. Topics include banking, insurance, pensions, financial markets, company law, payments, cryptocurrencies, corporate governance, and taxation.

DeHavilland also tracks the entire legislative process, analysing frameworks such as Solvency II, Markets in Crypto-Assets (MiCA), DORA, EMIR and MiFID, along with their delegated and implementing acts. Updates on Omnibus packages and reporting requirements ensure organisations are always prepared for regulatory change.

Map your stakeholders

In financial policymaking, influence is spread across many actors, from Commissioners and MEPs to supervisors, regulators and national representatives. Identifying the right stakeholders at the right time is crucial for shaping outcomes.

DeHavilland People gives organisations access to thousands of influential contacts in EU institutions, regulators and industry bodies. This includes biographical and contact details that help target engagement effectively. Plus, our in-house experts can identify the emerging voices and feed your future strategy.

Understand new legislation

Economic and financial legislation is highly technical and often complex. Organisations need to understand how politics will impact them without losing valuable time in the detail.

The DeHavilland team can quickly summarise legislation and provide the context of both the opportunities and risks. This includes the impact of the corporate sustainability due diligence directive as well as more complex regulation such as the Markets In Crypto-Assets (MiCA) Regulations.

Receive bespoke alerts

You know what subjects and topics can impact your business. Whether you’re in insurance, banking, fintech or asset management, you need to know the latest out of the European institutions and beyond.

DeHavilland delivers bespoke alerts that capture both the big picture and the fine detail. Covering everything from new legislative proposals to technical standards, these real-time updates ensure organisations have the clarity needed to make informed decisions.
