International Trade

International trade is essential for the growth and development of global economies and businesses. As international trade has expanded and developed, so too have the myriad rules and regulations that govern it. The global compliance environment is becoming more complex by the day and can be difficult to navigate without the assistance of experienced counsel. Failure to comply with international trade rules and regulations—even if done so unwittingly—can lead to civil and criminal penalties, monitorships, consent agreements, debarment, reputational damage, substantial administrative burden, legal expense, and unsatisfied business objectives. Increasingly, there also is exposure for individual officers/directors, which can include monetary penalties and, potentially, jail time. ...Read more

The FCA’s New Prospectus Rules: A Bold Reset for UK Capital Markets

On 15 July 2025, the Financial Conduct Authority (FCA) released Policy Statement PS25/9, confirming the final rules under the Public Offers and Admission to Trading Regulations 2024 (POATRs). These reforms overhaul the UK’s prospectus regime, replacing the retained EU Prospectus Regulation and taking effect from 19 January 2026. The new framework aims to simplify capital raising, reduce costs for issuers and enhance the UK’s competitiveness as a listing venue.

The FCA’s reforms are part of a broader government strategy to ensure regulation is targeted, proportionate and growth-oriented. They follow extensive consultation, including CP24/12 and CP25/2, and reflect recommendations from Lord Hill’s UK Listing Review and the Secondary Capital Raising Review.
