💡 Featured Guest 💡
Name: Sebastian Barling
What he does: Sebastian Barling is a partner in Skadden’s Financial Institutions Regulatory Group. He provides U.K. and EU financial regulatory advice to businesses in the financial services sector.
Organization: Skadden
Words of wisdom: “Any fintech senior manager will be subject to an ongoing assessment that they remain suitable for their role. And this is going to be particularly relevant in more fluid organizations where roles can change quickly or headcount may be limited and responsibility allocated narrowly.”
Name: Damian Babic
What he does: Damian Babic is counsel in Skadden’s labor and employment practice in London. He advises employers on a full range of employment issues.
Organization: Skadden
Words of wisdom: “Given the protections that employees have in the workplace, it’s even more important to have robust hiring and vetting procedures in place before offers are made. And that's to ensure that management time and cost is not wasted later on in the process when managing someone out of the business.”
