UK Enforcement Priorities for 2026: What’s Next for Compliance?

The U.K. enforcement landscape this year is focused on combating financial crime, with agencies like the Serious Fraud Office taking a more assertive approach and aiming for faster case resolutions. Skadden’s Jason Williamson and Vanessa McGoldrick highlight how U.K. agencies are becoming more emboldened in their investigations while seeking quicker resolutions. With host Andrew Good guiding the discussion, they outline what companies can expect from the SFO, as well as new legislation, such as the new Failure to Prevent Fraud offence. They also discuss increased scrutiny of crypto assets ahead of new U.K. regulations taking effect in October 2027.
