Kent is a veteran financial services lawyer at Hogan Lovells.the launch of the Investment Research Review - an independent review of financial services investment research and its contribution to UK capital markets competitiveness, headed by Kent.
The approval also sets the way for potentially removing unbundling rules – an inherited EU law that requires brokers to charge a separate fee for research.with the Financial Times, Hunt ruled out pre-election tax cuts this autumn, warning he must "double down" on inflation and would not "pump billions of pounds of additional demand" into the UK economy.
