Financial stability covers the safeguards, policies and actions that protect the UK financial system from shocks and systemic risk. A solicitor in this area works with banks, payment systems and regulators to assess macroprudential risks, plan for crises and ensure firms comply with the regime governing stress testing, capital, liquidity and risk management. They help draft and review resolution and recovery plans, liaise with the Bank of England, the Prudential Regulation Authority and the Financial Conduct Authority, and advise on contingency measures during stress events.
