Regulatory Transformation Programmes
Specialist programme delivery for major regulatory change — MiFID, EMIR, Basel IV, DORA, Consumer Duty, and the EU AI Act. Strategy through implementation.
Regulatory complexity in financial services is accelerating. Basel IV implementation, DORA operational resilience requirements, Consumer Duty embedding, the EU AI Act, and evolving EMIR and MiFID requirements are all creating sustained demand for specialist regulatory expertise. Mid-tier firms face tier-1 regulatory complexity without tier-1 internal resource.
Eaton Vasey has direct, hands-on experience implementing major regulatory programmes at tier-1 institutions. Our founder led MiFID II and EMIR implementation at Deutsche Bank across multiple jurisdictions — not as an external consultant reviewing documents, but as the programme leader accountable for delivery. This depth of experience means we understand not just what the regulation says, but how it actually works in practice.
We take a proportionate, risk-based approach. Rather than gold-plating requirements or applying standardised methodologies that don't fit your firm, we design regulatory transformation programmes that satisfy regulatory expectations while minimising operational burden. Our clients get compliance that works — not compliance that generates paperwork.
Our scope extends from initial impact assessment through programme design, implementation, and regulatory engagement. We also provide ongoing programme management office (PMO) services for firms that need sustained oversight of complex regulatory change portfolios.
