Emma Tran

Emma advises institutions across the financial sector, including banks, asset managers, retail brokers, e-money and payment institutions, cryptoasset providers, and payment system operators, on a wide range of regulatory, compliance, and financial crime issues.

Her practice focuses on matters relating to Brexit and the cross-border provision of services, UK MiFID, FCA conduct of business requirements, client money and client assets obligations, and FCA requests for information and investigations.

She also regularly advises incumbent and new financial services firms on issues relating to the digitalisation and cross-border provision of products and services, including in relation to the Payment Services Regulations and E-Money Regulations, payment system and card scheme rules, financial promotions and advertising rules, and anti-money laundering obligations.

Emma has spent time on secondment at a mid-cap broker, and at Goldman Sachs International Bank to help launch their retail offering "Marcus by Goldman Sachs". She draws on this experience to provide incisive and practical advice, and help clients work towards commercial solutions.
