We hope this briefing will help you get ready for the changes which will impact the market on 25 March 2016 (except for certain contractual requirements with an impact date of 9 June 2017 – see the section “Effective dates”).

Readers who are engaged in the corporate finance or investment banking functions will find our key suggestions in the section “Practical solutions for investment bankers”.
