📺 Watch: Navigating the FCA's Ongoing Reforms to the UK Listing Regime: What Companies Considering an IPO Need to Know Head of our award-winning Capital Markets practice in London, Simon Thomas recently spoke to Charlie Walker, Deputy CEO of the London Stock Exchange, about why the most significant UK market reforms in a generation really matter. They spoke about the proposed regulatory changes which are intended to ensure that companies in the UK can access funds to drive growth in an easier and more flexible way and why reforms to the UK listing rules will reinforce the UK Main Market as the preferred listing destination for international companies. We’re excited about more news from the Financial Conduct Authority in the coming weeks. We are currently helping several companies navigate the new rules and get in touch with our ECM team to explore how the new regime will operate in practice.
