Consultant
Before returning to private practice in 2007, Harvey was the UK's Financial Services Authority ("FSA")'s lead Authorisation and Approvals lawyer and the FSA's internal "trouble shooter" advising its senior management in relation to its legal and reputation management issues across the whole gamut of the FSA's authorisation, supervision and enforcement activities for six years.
Harvey now advises individuals and firms working and investing in the UK's financial services industry on the scope of FSA regulation; FSA Authorisation and non routine Approval applications; FSA Supervision and Enforcement inquiries; financial services litigation and any related employment issues.
Harvey is a regular writer and conference speaker on financial services regulatory issues. In view of his experience of the FSA's Regulatory Decisions Committee and of the FSA's decision making processes, he was invited to lead the Financial Services Lawyers Association workshop on FSA Decision Making.
