‘Due to a transport strike, please note that the speaker for this event will be joining by zoom, but the event will be hosted in the LSE classroom as advertised, chaired by Professor Braithwaite’.

In this Masterclass, Dr Murphy will explore the 2008 global financial crisis and the build-up to it, before considering the continued relevance of the ‘GFC’ today, over fifteen years on. This Masterclass is open to all LSE staff and students interested in finding out more about what exactly we mean when we talk about the ‘2008 crisis’, and why it still matters. The event will be of particular relevance to those interested in financial law, banking and financial markets regulation, because it will provide valuable perspectives on many different types of reforms and rule-making since the crisis.
Visiting Professor in Practice Dr David Murphy’s most recent book is ‘Derivatives Regulation: Rules and Reasoning from Lehman to Covid’ (OUP, 2022) and he is a specialist in financial regulation, derivatives and financial market infrastructure: https://www.lse.ac.uk/law/people/visiting-professors/david-murphy
