'...the authors provide valuable insights into issues that may need to be grappled with in due course... I anticipate that this will become the standard work for those of us who advise on questions of regulatory authorisation, conduct and pay in the financial services field. The authors have certainly achieved their objective of filling the gap that existed in our law libraries.'Richard Coleman Q.C. ARDL Quarterly Bulletin"A succinct, well-written book on the regulations governing conduct and pay in financial services…it is likely to be an essential read for any who have to advise clients in the financial services sector. Its greatest strength is that its contributors are practitioners with considerable collective experience of the sector who are also able to offer insight into the attitude and mindset of the regulators, coupled with an exceptionally high level of ability in and knowledge of employment law."Stephen Levinson, Employment Lawyers Association
