Bo is a Senior Associate in the Financial Services team.

Bo is a barrister with over 12 years’ PQE, with extensive FCA experience.

She was formerly a Legal Adviser for the Financial Conduct Authority’s Regulatory Decisions Committee, where she advised the decision-making panel in contested enforcement matters in regulatory proceedings under the Financial Services and Markets Act 2000. Cases often involved household-name banks and high-profile regulated individuals in market sensitive matters, resulting in multi-million pound penalties, prohibition orders and public censures.

Bo was also seconded to the FCA’s International division in R&CL (formerly General Counsel’s Division) where she was the primary adviser to internal stakeholders (Authorisations, Supervision) on disclosure of s.348 FSMA confidential information to overseas regulators and the FCA’s Memoranda of Understanding.

Bo was also a lawyer in the FCA’s Enforcement division, advising on disclosure, s.165 information requirements, s.166 skilled person reports, interviews with subject firms and individuals (including MLROs), stage 1 settlement negotiations, and drafting annotated warning notices.

Outside of Capital Law, Bo sits as an Independent Panel Member for Police Misconduct Hearings.

  • Bo joined us at Zego on secondment and quickly became a valued part of the legal team. She brings a calm, measured approach and a strong ability to step back, see the bigger picture, and then focus quickly on what really matters.

    She worked seamlessly with people across the business and was excellent at bringing others into the conversation to land practical, sensible outcomes. Bo’s judgement and steady approach made her a real asset to the team.
