Comprehensive insight into the key 2024 challenges:
Financial Services Regulation
An update on the latest initiatives from the CMA, FCA and PSR, including consumer duty after the DMCC and other concurrent regulation developments.
Followed by some valuable insight from the European Commission.
Enforcement: National-Level Developments
A review of recent developments in enforcement in key jurisdictions to ensure our delegates have a truly pan-European perspective.
We then considered how the authorities are using their expanded toolkits.
Open Banking & Open Finance
Does open banking change how competition law works in the sector? How much further should the regulators go in encouraging consumers to shop for financial services? How is big tech using open data? Our panel of expert speakers covered these key questions.
Big Tech, FinTech & AI
An analysis on the impact of the DMA and UK DMCC, with a focus on the amendment to the EC's Article 102 in the context of the financial services sector. We then examined how banks are using AI, how regulators are approaching it and where the competition law risks lie.
Merger Control & FDI
In this practical session, we examined whether a tougher enforcement environment is frustrating transactions, how to plan for this new landscape, including why and where issues arise, how to plan for them. And finally, how to analyse risks.
Horizontal Developments
During this practical session, attendees heard from in-house counsel on the practical implications of the new Horizontal Block Exemption, do's and don'ts of information exchange, issues surrounding ESG and sustainability and how to avoid the pitfalls when it comes to horizontal cooperation and JVs.
