ABSTRACT:  
 
I will discuss the RS-A4 model, aimed at a simultaneous explanation of quark and lepton masses and mixings.  After introducing the model setup, I discuss the LO and NLO results for fermion masses and the quark and neutrino mixing. In particular, I will demonstarte the way  realistic CKM and PMNS matrices can be accommodated with natural O(1) parameters, considering also the recent measurements of $\theta_{13}$ by RENO and DAYA Bay. I then discuss the phenomenology of RS-A4  and the most significant constraints coming from EWPM and rare processes in both the quark and lepton sectors. Special attention will be given to the calculation of 1-loop contributions to dipole operators relevant for the nEDM, \epsilon'/\epsilon, b-->s\gamma and  \Delta a_{CP} for D-->K+K- and D-->\pi+\pi-.
 
Finally, I discuss Tree level contributions to cLFV (\mu-->e,3e) and B_{s,d}-->\mu+\mu- mediated by anomalous Z couplings, in light of the wealth of current day and future experiments addressing these processes (LHCb, Dee-Mee,COMET, PRIME  Mu2e, Mu3e, MuSIC, PRO-X). It is shown that cLFV together with EWPM, impose the strongest constraints on the KK scale and the model parameters.
