SUMMARY:Fintech and Digital Finance Masterclass - Session 3
DESCRIPTION:Please note that this course is designed for Law students ONLY. \n\n\n\nREGISTER HERE \n\n\nCertificates will be provided to participants who attend all five Sessions. \nIt is mandatory for all participants to present their valid LSE ID cards upon arrival at each masterclass. Failure to do so will regrettably result in denial of entry. \nThis certificate Master Class Series at LSE Law School is designed to provide students with a comprehensive introduction to regulatory issues arising in the sphere of ‘FinTech’ and ‘Digital Finance’. Both terms are used interchangeably and refer to technology-enabled financial services and products that are either novel\, or traditional and provided in structurally novel ways. FinTech and Digital Finance do not have an existence apart\, rather\, they are part of the continuously evolving financial market as it keeps developing. \nDiscussion on FinTech typically focusses on terms such as blockchain\, stablecoin\, CBDC\, robo-advice\, and mobile payment. However\, to really understand these developments and identify key structural trends they are best discussed by reference to a number of – wider – central themes\, notably regulatory arbitrage\, the increasing use of technology\, datafication\, and the convergence of financial services with other markets\, such as social media and e-commerce. \nOur Convene Master Class Series will break down these developments and set them into their regulatory and legal context. It cuts across matters addressed in the curriculum at LSE Law School\, such as financial regulation and financial law\, commercial and corporate law\, data regulation and competition law. \nThis course is open exclusively to LLM and LLB students at LSE Law School. It is designed to be co-curricular (i.e.\, not part of the LLM or LLB curricula) and complement other relevant courses. \nStudents will earn a certificate for attending all sessions\, the course will not count as credit\, to put towards any degree\, nor will it be examinable. \nSpeakers: Philipp Paech\, Elisabeth Noble \nMasterclass Session 1 – 16 October 2025 \nMasterclass Session 2 – 30 October 2025 \nMasterclass Session 3 – 13 November 2025 \nMasterclass Session 4 – 27 November 2025 \nMasterclass Session 5 – 11 December 2025

SUMMARY:The Hidden Rules of International Trade – Trade Finance Masterclass Session 2
DESCRIPTION:Please note that this course is designed for LSE LAW students ONLY.  \n\n\nREGISTER HERE \n\n\nCertificates will be provided to participants who attend all three sessions. \nIt is mandatory for all participants  to present their valid LSE ID cards upon arrival at each masterclass. Failure to do so will regrettably result in denial of entry. \n\nDiscussions about international trade typically focus on negotiations of tariffs and free trade agreements between states\, but ignore the daily movement and financing of  goods and services that cross borders every day.  What arrangements support the importation of fruit to our supermarkets? What arrangements support the payment of the multiple suppliers producing components of cars or smart phones?  How are the parties financed when there’s a gap in payment terms?  What about non-payment risk? What law and jurisdiction govern? \nUnknown to the majority of qualified lawyers\, there is a detailed private law system of rules and practice supporting import / export transactions\, including the cross-border provision of services.  This system remains obscure\, despite the value of global trade being at an all-time high of nearly $33 trillion in 2024. \nThis certificate Trade Finance Masterclass Series at LSE Law School is designed to provide students with a comprehensive introduction to: (1) the legal rules and industry practice governing cross border trade and trade finance; (2) the continued challenge transitioning global trade from a paper based system to digital; (3) the risks arising for international trade when deals are impacted by economic sanctions or fraud. \nThis course is open to students at the LSE studying Law or Law and finance. Students will earn a certificate for attending all sessions\, but the course will not count as credit to put towards any degree\, nor will it be examinable. \nSession 1 – 28 October 2025\nThe Hidden Rules of International Trade: Legal Rules and Industry Practice \nSpeaker: Lorna Strong\, Associate Programme Director\, MSc Law and Finance\nIntroductions: Professor David Kershaw\, LSE Law \nSession 2 – 11 November 2025\nThe Hidden Rules of International Trade: The Drive for Digital Transformation\, including a review of fintech and blockchain initiatives and the UK Electronic Trade Documents Act. \nSpeakers:\nLorna Strong\, Associate Programme Director\, MSc Law and Finance\nMichael Lehotzki\, Managing Associate General Counsel\, HSBC \nSession 3 – 18 November 2025\nThe Hidden Rules of International Trade: Managing the Risk of Economic Sanctions and Fraud \nSpeaker: Lorna Strong\, Associate Programme Director\, MSc Law and Finance \nThis event operates on a first come first serve basis and a ticket does not guarantee entry so we advise you arrive early to secure your seat.

SUMMARY:How culture becomes a weapon?: Lessons from Russia’s War on Ukraine
DESCRIPTION:REGISTER HERE \n\n\n\nTHIS EVENT IS OPEN TO THE LSE COMMUNITY ONLY. A VALID LSE ID WILL BE REQUIRED FOR ENTRY. PLEASE NOTE THAT BOOKING A TICKET DOES NOT GUARANTEE ADMISSION. TO ENSURE YOUR PLACE\, WE ADVISE ARRIVING EARLY. \n\n\nThe Russian Federation’s intervention in Ukraine\, which commenced in 2014\, escalated into full-scale armed conflict in 2022. Russian attacks on Ukrainian territory have not been limited to military objectives but also extend to civilian infrastructure. Beyond road bridges and power stations\, Russia has also targeted publishing houses\, libraries\, and museums\, and other places of cultural significance. In this\, Russia’s actions fit within a broader long-term weaponization of culture in the service of a political narrative that questions Ukrainian national identity and statehood. The current active campaign against the culture of the Ukrainian people highlights longstanding concerns for the protection of culture and heritage in war. \nThe panel will discuss the complexities of cultural heritage\, from the perspective of a variety of relevant actors in the current conflict\, including military\, the public\, and international partners. The panel will examine the question of war crimes against heritage objects\, including the deliberate targeting of heritage and looting. The speakers will explain how objects of cultural significance are invoked to justify and legitimate violence\, to the point of providing a rhetorical justification for war. The panel will address the broader questions raised by cultural heritage in conflict narratives as well as the distinctive Ukrainian cultural viewpoint emerging from its fight for independence and freedom. \nSpeakers: \nLieutenant Colonel Timothy Purbrick – Military Cultural Property Protection Consultant at Organization for Security and Co-operation in Europe \nKristin Hausler – k.hausler@biicl.org – Dorset Senior Research Fellow in Public International Law and Director\, Centre for International Law at the British Institute of International and Comparative Law \nIryna Odrekhivska –  i.odrekhivska@ucl.ac.uk – Lecturer in Ukrainian and East European Culture\, School of Slavonic and East European Studies at University College London \nChair: David Kershaw – Dean of LSE Law School\, Professor of Law \nThis event is jointly organised by LSE Law School and LSE Lawyers Without Borders

He will also explore the world of the General Counsel\, including day-to-day challenges and interactions with a wide range of stakeholders. \n\nBjarne P.

SUMMARY:The General Counsel as CEO: Providing Legal Services in a Time of Digital Transformation - Session 1
DESCRIPTION:A discussion with Bjarne P. Tellmann\, former FTSE 100 General Counsel (Pearson\, GSK Consumer Healthcare\, and Haleon)\, about the changing role of the general counsel (GC) in a world and legal industry that is undergoing rapid innovation and disruption. \nThe challenge: In an era of exponential change\, the role of the GC has become one of the most complex\, intense and challenging in the corporate world. GCs\, must lead\, unify and inspire diverse groups of people across the globe with subtlety and diplomacy. The stakes have never been higher and the consequences of getting it wrong can be existential. GCs must react with ever-fewer resources and at a time when the legal profession itself is undergoing disruption. \nThe response: To succeed in this “new normal”\, GCs must become their own mini-chief executives. They must lead\, formulate and execute strategies\, ensure efficacy\, anticipate and manage risk and manage quality control – all in addition to being top-notch lawyers. \nBjarne will share his views of the realities of the 21st century legal organization and what digital transformation means for the profession. He will also explore the world of the General Counsel\, including day-to-day challenges and interactions with a wide range of stakeholders. \n\nBjarne P.

SUMMARY:FinTech and Digital Finance Masterclass – Session 5
DESCRIPTION:Please note that this course is designed for LLB & LLM students ONLY. \n\n\nREGISTER HERE \n\n\n\n\nCertificates will be provided to participants who attend all five Sessions. \nIt is mandatory for all participants to present their valid LSE ID cards upon arrival at each masterclass. Failure to do so will regrettably result in denial of entry. \nThis certificate Master Class Series at LSE Law School is designed to provide students with a comprehensive introduction to regulatory issues arising in the sphere of ‘FinTech’ and ‘Digital Finance’. Both terms are used interchangeably and refer to technology-enabled financial services and products that are either novel\, or traditional and provided in structurally novel ways. FinTech and Digital Finance do not have an existence apart\, rather\, they are part of the continuously evolving financial market as it keeps developing. \nDiscussion on FinTech typically focusses on terms such as blockchain\, stablecoin\, CBDC\, robo-advice\, and mobile payment. However\, to really understand these developments and identify key structural trends they are best discussed by reference to a number of – wider – central themes\, notably regulatory arbitrage\, the increasing use of technology\, datafication\, and the convergence of financial services with other markets\, such as social media and e-commerce. \nOur Convene Master Class Series will break down these developments and set them into their regulatory and legal context. It cuts across matters addressed in the curriculum at LSE Law School\, such as financial regulation and financial law\, commercial and corporate law\, data regulation and competition law. \nThis course is open exclusively to LLM and LLB students at LSE Law School. It is designed to be co-curricular (i.e.\, not part of the LLM or LLB curricula) and complement other relevant courses. \nStudents will earn a certificate for attending all sessions\, the course will not count as credit\, to put towards any degree\, nor will it be examinable. \nSpeakers: Philipp Paech\, Elisabeth Noble \n\nThis event will be followed by a drinks reception to celebrate the completion of the masterclass.
