Carey Olsen's regulatory team is a key component of its wider transactional and financial services offerings, with practitioners that have experience frequently engaging with the regulators. The practice is adept in both contentious and non-contentious work, with a particularly strong client base in finance and with leading trust companies. Elizabeth Killeen leads the department and is a dedicated regulatory law expert, well versed in advising CSPs, trust companies and registered agents, as well as supporting regulated entities on restructuring advice, FSC notices, ITA applications, and economic substance technicalities. Corporate and commercial partner Clinton Hempel is an experienced name to note in this team, while Katrina Lindsay is the standout support to Killeen, following the departure of Jude Hodge in February 2024.
