RESTRUCTURE

With the need to remain competitive and the legal and regulatory landscape changing we are well placed to support transformation projects required by a business in response to Brexit or post-acquisition.

REGULATORY

It is now commonplace to have the regulator reviewing the practices adopted by the industry, a segment or a particular business. We can assist where help is needed to prepare for or respond to a a business’s need to change following a new consultation paper, a thematic review or the appointment of a skilled person.

TRAINING

A key element to effective risk, control and compliance frameworks is the embedding of the Board Policies and underlying Processes after delivery or transformation. We can support the embedding process with training from experts with years of experience.

“Skyline Partners have been engaged with ICSR since the beginning of the year. We have been very impressed with their knowledge and experience, particularly with regard to regulatory and legal structuring for operating as an insurance intermediary internationally . ICSR have been very flexible recognising that we are a start-up organisation. They have also made some key industry introductions for us which have been aligned to our strategy and direction and been very beneficial for us. Kenneth and Jason are a pleasure to work with and Skyline Partners would fully endorse them to any potential clients of ICSR. ”

An International General Counsel for a US Multinational Insurer

“ICSR were able at short notice to assist us, an international insurance group with a presence in London, to prepare for and respond to a deep review by our regulators of certain aspects of our business including Governance and Conduct. ICSR were very helpful in accurately identifying the issues we needed to address and advising us on the right approach to do so. ICSR worked with us for several months while we resolved all our issues and were instrumental in helping to ensure we reached the resolution appropriate to our circumstances. In addition, ICSR provided an excellent interim Compliance Officer, and were agreeable to several necessary extensions. We were very pleased with their approach, expertise, insight and flexibility.”
