and access,
Christophe supports both buy-side and sell-side clients, including institutional assets managers, private fund and wealth managers, family offices, banks, and other financial institutions, helping them navigate the evolving landscape of UK and European financial services regulation. With over two decades of international experience spanning France, Luxembourg, and the UK, he is regularly sought out by clients launching or distributing products across borders, or addressing licensing, governance, product regulations, and general regulatory requirements in multiple jurisdictions. He advises on the full spectrum of regulatory matters, including perimeter and licensing issues, product structuring, operations, and cross-border marketing of investment funds across the UK and EU, ensuring clients can seize market opportunities as they arise and manage regulatory risk in a rapidly changing landscape. Christophe’s experience also covers the setting-up and marketing of open-ended funds for institutional, retail or HNWIs — particularly UCITS, AIFs, and UCITS ETFs. Previously Head of Legal, International Products at Natixis Investment Managers and Head of Legal, Fund Services at The Royal Bank of Scotland plc, Christophe offers clients a wealth of industry experience, combining technical expertise and valuable insight into the operations of global financial institutions. Before his in-house experience, he worked for several years as an associate in the investment management group of a magic circle law firm and the M&A/Private equity practice of a leading US law firm. Clients turn to Christophe for his forward-thinking approach to regulatory change, his valuable operational knowledge, and his readiness to tackle challenging issues and deliver practical solutions, supporting them to move ahead with clarity and confidence.
