SUMMARY:Ambivalence in (un)certain times
DESCRIPTION:In the wake of the devastating Israel-Gaza war\, Shani Orgad reflects on the ‘war on ambivalence’ in current discourse and how the insistent discourse of either/or is geared towards humiliation. Instead\, Orgad explores the potential value of ambivalence: rather that a deficit of certainty or a failure of definitive thinking\, ambivalence is proposed as a critical sensibility for our (un)certain times; a way of thinking and feeling for engaging our intellectual and political investments in academia\, in the classroom\, in our research\, and beyond. \nThis event will be held on Thursday 7th of March from 17:30 – 19:00 in the Student Common Room. \nSpeaker: Professor Shani Orgad \nChair: Professor Charles Stafford \nThis event will be on a first-come-first-serve basis.

SUMMARY:EVENT CANCELLED - Bjarne Tellmann on the changing role of the General Counsel
DESCRIPTION:Regrettably\, this event has been cancelled. We apologise for any inconvenience caused and will inform you here about future dates. \nBjarne P. Tellmann\, General Counsel and member of the Executive of Haleon and author of “Building an Outstanding Legal Team”\, considers the changing role of the General Counsel 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 general counsel (GC) has become one of the most complex\, intense\, and challenging in the corporate world. GCs must lead\, unify\, and inspire diverse teams 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 do this with ever-fewer resources\, and at a time when the legal profession itself is undergoing disruption and change. \nThe response: To succeed in this environment\, GCs must become Legal CEOs. They must lead\, communicate\, inspire\, reinforce culture\, manage talent\, formulate\, and execute strategies\, ensure efficacy\, anticipate\, and manage risk and manage quality control – all in addition to being top-notch lawyers. \nBased on more than 25 years of experience in Europe\, Asia and the United States\, Bjarne shares his views on career paths and serendipity\, the realities of the 21st century legal organization\, and what digital transformation means for the profession. \nBjarne is GC and member of the Executive at Haleon\, a FTSE 20 company and a global leader in consumer health\, with long-standing brands\, including Sensodyne\, Panadol\, Advil\, Theraflu\, and Centrum. He was previously CLO\, General Counsel and member of the Executive at Pearson\, a FTSE 100. Prior to that he worked across Europe\, Asia\, and the United States in senior capacities with Coca-Cola\, most recently as Associate General Counsel of The Coca-Cola Company. He has also held positions at Kimberly-Clark\, Sullivan & Cromwell\, and White & Case. \nBjarne\, who has served on various public and private boards\, sits on The Futures Group of the UK Civil Justice Council\, which advises the Government on the long-term impact of technology on the administration of justice. \nHe writes regularly on leadership\, disruption\, and digital transformation. His book\, Building an Outstanding Legal Team came out in 2017 and he has a forthcoming law review article on digital transformation in the Journal of Business and Technology Law. \nBjarne has been an Academic Visitor in the Faculty of Law at the University of Oxford\, and is an alumnus of Harvard Business School\, The University of Chicago\, and The London School of Economics. \nHe has received numerous awards\, including Chambers’ “GC Influencers Global 100”\, “General Counsel of the Year” at The British Legal Awards\, and Legal Era’s “General Counsel of the Year”. \nBjarne P.

SUMMARY:Environmental law and ESG: Experiences and Career Pathways
DESCRIPTION:This will be an in-person event\, and the guest speaker\, Wera von der Osten\, will be presenting via Zoom.  \nWhile studying Environment and Development at LSE between 2016 and 2019\, Wera attended LL250 (Law and the Environment) with Professor Heyvaert. Professor Heyvaert’s teaching was invaluable in Wera’s sustainable finance career; it equipped Wera with a deep understanding of environmental law in the UK\, internationally\, as well as the significant role of EU law in this field. Key concepts including the ‘precautionary principle’ have appeared frequently in Wera’s work and have also inspired her to pursue further legal education. \nAfter graduating from LSE\, Wera worked in environmental research in the financial sector in Berlin and Paris\, where she witnessed how influential European regulation such as the Taxonomy Regulation and the Sustainable Finance Disclosure Regulation (‘SFDR’) has been in pushing ESG into the financial limelight. Around eighteen months ago Wera moved to S&P Global in New York where she gained more exposure to the US market. Wera witnessed an interesting contrast to Europe as the US lacks comprehensive ESG regulations and faces antitrust lawsuit challenges\, but it also faces a growing number of climate litigation cases. \nThis is a dynamic and exciting space and this careers event will explore Wera’s career experiences to provide insight into possible career paths. \nSpeaker: Wera von der Osten \n \n Chair: Elizabeth Howell \n \nPlease note that this event will be on a first come first served basis.

SUMMARY:Dissenters' Rights Evolution Across European and US Company Regulations: Lawmakers’ Choices and Investors’ Expectations.
DESCRIPTION:This seminar aims at analyzing the evolution of dissenters’ rights across European and US state regulations\, looking for similarities and differences\, and\, ultimately\, for the possible grounds of such a right. The comparative analysis is interesting in light of the need for investors to know what to expect when buying an interest in a foreign company. In addition\, national lawmakers can benefit from such an analysis\, as providing this right can affect national companies’ capital raising potential. \nThe analysis will focus on cases in which shareholders are entitled to dissenters’ rights\, and in particular on the trends in widening or reducing the number of such cases. The analysis will consequently show how and when the traditional justification of such a right as a minority protection tool can currently explain the regulation and when\, in contrast\, it is necessary to look for other plausible grounds. In both cases\, the implications of the exercise of the right are extremely relevant to the corporation\, given the need to take into account its financial consequences. \nSpeaker: Paolo Butturini  \nPaolo Butturini JD\, PhD is an Associate Professor in the Department of Law at the University of Verona. He teaches Business Law\, Advanced Company Law (M&A)\, and Competition Law. His research interests include the regulation of corporate entities with a particular focus on Benefit Companies\, LLCs\, and financial statement. \nThis event is based on a first come first serve basis\, so please arrive in good time to secure a spot.

SUMMARY:Masterclass in UK Refugee and Migration Law - Session 2
DESCRIPTION:In this masterclass\, Nath Gbikpi\, solicitor at Leigh Day with a focus on immigration and asylum law\, and Visiting Fellow at LSE Law School\, discusses UK Refugee and Migration Law\, debunking some of the myths around asylum which underpin the current government narrative around “safe and legal routes”. \nSession 2 analyses the very few “safe and legal routes” that exist\, and why they are insufficient/problematic\, because only a very tiny proportion of refugees around the world will actually meet the criteria to get to the UK under those routes; and the routes are highly discriminatory both in terms of rules and their implementation. \nChair: Dr Marie Petersmann \n\nNath Gbikpi
