Listen to the "(mis)Conduct, Money & Reputation" Podcast
In collaboration with reputation consultancy Lansons, Katten has launched "(mis)Conduct, Money & Reputation," a new podcast series that explores the increasingly widespread issue of misconduct in financial services to give listeners a better understanding of rules and regulations — and the reputational fallout when things go wrong.
The series is hosted by David Masters, partner and asset management lead at reputation consultancy Lansons, and Financial Markets and Funds partner Neil Robson, whose practice includes regulatory compliance matters.
The first episode, "Odey, FCA, non-financial misconduct," launched September 6 with guest Ciara McBrien, a Financial Markets and Funds associate based in London.
In the inaugural episode, the trio focuses on non-financial misconduct in financial services, drawing on cases such as that alleged against Odey Asset Management — a story that is defining the sector's image in the public eye. Parallel examples are also drawn from other cases, including Jonathan Paul Burrows and Paul Flowers, highlighting the reputational hazards involved, from association risk and treatment of whistle-blowers to the potential for mitigation.
"(mis)Conduct, Money & Reputation" is committed to offering an astute analysis of where reputation and regulation intersect in asset and wealth management and, more broadly, in financial services, with episodes released monthly.
Listeners can subscribe to "(mis)Conduct, Money & Reputation" on all podcast platforms, such as Apple Podcasts, Spotify and Google Podcasts, or visit lansons.com and katten.com to listen to episodes and learn more about the podcast series.
