SUMMARY:Due Diligence on Trial: What can corporate sustainability due diligence regulation deliver for people\, the climate and nature?
DESCRIPTION:REGISTER HERE – IN PERSON \nREGISTER HERE – ZOOM \n*Please note this event will now take place in Marshall 2.08*\nCorporate sustainability due diligence has emerged as one of the most significant and contested regulatory innovations of the past decade. The EU’s Corporate Sustainability Due Diligence Directive (CSDDD)\, alongside national laws in France\, Germany\, South Korea and beyond\, legally required companies to identify\, prevent and mitigate harmful human rights and environmental impacts across their operations and supply chain. \nBut is due diligence regulation enough? Can such regulation itself cause harm?   \nThe Sustainability Regulation Observatory (SRO) at LSE’s Global School of Sustainability invites you to Due Diligence on Trial — a mock trial event that puts corporate sustainability due diligence in the dock\, examining its value\, its limitations\, and whether it can deliver the systemic change that people\, the climate and nature urgently require. Prosecutors\, defence counsel and independent witnesses will argue the case before a judge\, with the audience acting as the live jury and casting their verdict.  \nSpeakers: \nFor the prosecution: \nKate Levick — Associate Director\, E3G Arguing that corporate sustainability due diligence\, even at its strongest\, falls structurally short of what the climate and nature emergencies require.  \nProf. Dr. Galina Kolev-Schaefer —Senior Economist\, German Economic Institute (IW Köln) and Economics Professor at TH Köln (Technische Hochschule Köln) Charge: Harmful — presenting the economic critique of due diligence as a regulatory tool.  \nFor the defence: \nSarah-Jane Denton — Director\, Operational Risk and Environment\, Travers Smith  \nPhil Bloomer – Strategic Advisor and former Executive Director\, Business and Human Rights Centre\, Ex Campaigns and Policy Director at Oxfam \nIndependent Witness: \nColleen Theron – Founder and CEO of Ardea International\, Lawyer\,  Expert in sustainability\, business and human rights\, and modern slavery. \nRichard Howitt – Strategic Adviser on Corporate Responsibility\, Sustainability and Business and Human Rights; Senior Associate\, Frank Bold. \nJudge and Chair \nProf. Veerle Heyvaert — Professor\, LSE Law School; founding Editor-in-Chief of Transnational Environmental Law; Associate Dean\, LSE Law School \nThe event will be followed by a drinks reception.  \nPlease note that although this event is ticketed\, seating will operate on a first-come\, first-served basis. \nAfter the Event  \nInsights from the discussion will feed directly into the SRO’s ongoing research programme. A short blog will be published following the event\, and the proceedings will inform a major policy brief examining the role\, value and limitations of corporate sustainability due diligence compared with other regulatory tools for advancing human rights and sustainable development.  \nAbout the Sustainability Regulation Observatory  \nThe Sustainability Regulation Observatory (SRO) is a new LSE initiative\, housed within the Global School of Sustainability (GSoS). Building on expertise across the LSE Law School\, the Grantham Research Institute\, International Relations and other departments\, the SRO serves as a convening hub that bridges research\, policy\, and practice. Drawing on world-leading expertise across LSE\, the SRO analyses sustainability regulation worldwide\, generates research and analysis to inform how sustainability regulation can be designed and reformed. It publishes policy analysis based on rigorous research\, and convenesgovernments\, regulators\, businesses\, civil society\, and researchers around its findings.  \n\n\n	Related

SUMMARY:Trump 2.0 and U.S Foreign Economic Policy
DESCRIPTION:REGISTER HERE \n\n\nDuring the Biden administration\, U.S. National Security Adviser Jake Sullivan critiqued the neoliberal consensus and developed a framework (the New Washington Consensus) to break from the past and engage in domestic industrial policy that relied on a range of tools of economic statecraft. What remains of the New Washington Consensus? What will the first 100 days of Trump 2.0 tell us about the United States’ policies concerning cross-border flows of capital\, trade\, and technology? What does Trump 2.0 mean for U.S. relations with Europe\, other major economies\, and international economic institutions? \nThis panel will discuss trade-offs concerning U.S. foreign economic policy in the second Trump administration. The experts will analyse proposals made during the Trump campaign and the initial months of the second administration\, including tariff threats and other trade defences to reduce dependence on China\, tackle trade deficits\, push for export market access\, and to secure a techno-industrial base for the United States. In a time of heightened geopolitical tension and a race to secure growth in a rapidly changing global economy\, the discussants will reflect on the policy shifts from Trump to Biden back to Trump again. \nSpeakers: \nKathleen Claussen \nRupert Schlegelmilch \nAlan Beattie \nChad Bown \nChair: \nDr Mona Paulsen \nA drinks reception will follow this event.  \nAlthough this event is ticketed\, please note that we still operate on a first-come\, first-served basis. \n\n\n	Related

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. Tellmann \nBjarne Tellmann is a seasoned public company General Counsel with 30 years of global corporate legal experience. The author of “Building an Outstanding Legal Team”\, Bjarne was Founding General Counsel and Member of the Executive at Haleon\, a FTSE 20 and the world’s largest consumer healthcare business.

SUMMARY:The Future of Football: The Independent Regulator (with Dame Tracey Crouch)
DESCRIPTION:REGISTER HERE \n\nThe Football Governance Bill was introduced in March 2024 with the intention of improving governance standards\, strengthening fan rights and facilitating revenue redistribution across the football pyramid. Its central proposal: create an independent regulator with powers to oversee the professional men’s game. The idea has sparked controversy. While some claim it will secure the sustainability of English and Welsh football\, others worry it will damage the competitiveness of the Premier League. \nDiscontinued as a result of the general election\, the Bill was reintroduced by the new government which will continue the project of regulating the game. Dr Jan Zglinski will discuss its future with Dame Tracey Crouch\, former MP for Chatham and Aylesford and chair of the Independent Fan-Led Review of Football Governance on which many of the legislative proposals are based. \nEverybody is welcome (LSE and non-LSE). Attendance is free\, but please register. \nThis event will be followed by a drinks reception. \nThis event operates on a first come first serve basis\, so please arrive early to secure you seats as a ticket does not guarantee attendance. \n\n\n	Related

SUMMARY:Underworlds – Sites and Struggles of Global Dis/Ordering
DESCRIPTION:REGISTER NOW  \n\nEngagement with practices of global ordering is often guided towards specific locations and legacies: the sovereign state\, the formal sources and standards of international law\, the intricacies of global diplomacy\, the historical juncture and its (anti-)heroes\, the international palaces of hope in Geneva\, New York\, or The Hague. These explorations entail ideas of where power resides and where it is to be unmasked or undone – ideas implicitly grounded in modernist geographies\, temporalities\, and subjectivities. Starting from the limits of these familiar perspectives\, we organised an online lecture series throughout 2023-2024 that traces the multiple ways in which these sites\, actors\, and events are cabined\, crossed\, and cut apart by alternative material arteries\, lineages\, and languages of global dis/ordering. \nThe series took as starting point that authority and order are not fixed properties of specific actors or institutions\, but the result of ongoing material processes of ordering and world-making. As such\, it traced unconventional forms and sites of global dis/ordering – from raw materials to projections of hope – as material\, infrastructural\, and discursive compositions that shape patterns of power. The encounter between old- and new materialist\, Marxist and decolonial methodologies and modes of critique was one of the key objectives of this series. Its aim\, however\, was not only methodological: it aspires to inspire new ethical and political openings that attend to our inevitable complicity in taking part in these processes\, and reveal new modes of resistance and refusal\, of struggle and sociality. These interventions are not narrowly targeted at the old nemeses of critique – the state\, the truth\, the universal – but work from within both entrenched and emergent material sites and practices of dis/ordering: oceans\, oil / coal\, breath\, debt\, commons\, frontier(s)\, waste\, hope\, wild / feral\, vessels. \nIn the context of this series\, we are organising a conference in London on 15-17 May 2024. Bridges will be built between the different sites and struggles discussed in the series\, and new projects that take the theme of the Underworlds onto new terrains and in different directions will be presented. \nJoin us for a 3-day gathering in London (at LSE Law School and QMUL and well beyond) for a journey through the Underworlds of International Law. \nTo view the programme click here Conference programme \nOrganisers: Marie Petersmann (LSE Law School) & Dimitri Van Den Meerssche (QMUL) \nDay 1: MAR 2.08\, Marshall building\, 44 Lincoln’s Inn Fields\, WC2A 2ES (LSE)\nDay 2: Peston Lecture Theatre\, Graduate Centre\, Mile End\, QMUL\, E1 4DH (QMUL)\nDay 3: MAR 2.08\, Marshall building\, 44 Lincoln’s Inn Fields\, WC2A 2ES (LSE) \n(This event operates on a first come first serve basis) \n                     \n\n\n	Related

SUMMARY:The Professor Bill Cornish Memorial Lecture 2024 - “Intellectual Property norms in the Polycrisis - (Still) Omnipresent\, Distracting\, Irrelevant?”
DESCRIPTION:A video recording of this lecture is available here. \nThe Bill Cornish Memorial Lecture 2024\, scheduled for May 7th at 5:00 PM London time\, warmly invites online participation alongside in-person attendance. For those unable to join physically\, the event offers a seamless virtual experience through Zoom. Simply register via the provided link to gain access to this esteemed lecture series honoring the legacy of Bill Cornish. Whether you’re attending in person or virtually\, this event promises to be a thought-provoking and engaging experience for all participants. \nThe Bill Cornish Memorial lecture series has been established as an annual event by LSE academics Dr Martin Husovec and Dr Luke McDonagh to honour the late Professor Bill Cornish who passed away in 2022. Inaugurated by Prof Jane Ginsburg in 2023\, the lecture series will feature eminent scholars who\, like Prof Cornish\, have contributed to the study of authorship\, creativity\, innovation and IP ownership. During the late 1960s Prof Cornish pioneered the teaching of Intellectual Property Law at LSE\, becoming the progenitor of intellectual property law scholarship and teaching in the United Kingdom. He spent nearly 30 years at the LSE between 1962 and 1990\, from 1970 as a Professor of English Law. His work combined a deep knowledge of English legal history and intellectual property law\, with a European and law-in-context outlook on the regulation of markets and technologies. \nTwenty years since Professor Cornish asked whether IP is “omnipresent\, distracting\, irrelevant?” that question is more pertinent than ever.  Recent years of instability have compounded the polycrisis the world is facing whilst the 2030 deadline to achieve the UN Sustainable Development Goals looms closer and closer. Intellectual Property (IP) remains one of multiple regulatory systems seeking solutions in the highly dynamic and insecure contexts of the climate emergency\, uneven global development\, and pandemics. Now is an opportune time to return to Prof. Cornish’s question and ask whether appropriate IP norms have been set; or whether states\, policymakers and legislatures have merely settled for a “more of the same” approach? If the former\, then IP’s relevance to combatting the polycrisis may be confirmed; but if the latter\, then debates about IP may have become no more than a deadly distraction. \nSpeaker: Professor Caroline Ncube (University of Cape Town)  \nProfessor Caroline Ncube is the DSI/NRF SARChI Research Chair in Intellectual Property\, Innovation and Development in the Department of Commercial Law at the University of Cape Town (UCT). She holds a PhD in IP Law from the University of Cape Town; an LLM from the University of Cambridge (where she was taught by Prof. Cornish); and an LLB from the University of Zimbabwe. Before joining UCT in 2005\, Prof Ncube lectured at the University of Limpopo (formerly University of the North) and the University of Zimbabwe. Prior to that\, she practiced as an attorney at Coghlan\, Welsh & Guest. \nDiscussant: Professor Uma Suthersanen (QMUL) \nChairs: Dr Martin Husovec (LSE) & Dr Luke McDonagh (LSE)  \nThis event functions on a first-come\, first-served basis. To secure your place\, we recommend arriving early. \nA drinks reception will also follow this event.  \n\n\n	Related

SUMMARY:The British nation: What’s its future? Does it have one?
DESCRIPTION:BOOK TICKETS NOW \n\nFive years after Brexit and with an election looming\, Britain’s political institutions are held in contempt by its people. Its major political traditions are plainly exhausted. The Union with Scotland and Northern Ireland is in doubt. Much of the UK’s stagnant economy is foreign-owned. Its imperial past is disgraced. Immigration is at unprecedented levels. Identity conflicts proliferate. Is a national politics possible in such circumstances? \nSpeakers\nDavid Edgerton is Professor of Modern British History at King’s College London and author of The Rise and Fall of the British Nation\nTomiwa Owolade is author of This Is Not America: Why Black Lives in Britain Matter\nPeter Ramsay is Professor of Law at LSE and author of Taking Control: Sovereignty and Democracy After Brexit.  \nChair: Professor Martin Loughlin \n\n\n	Related

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. \n\n\n	Related

SUMMARY:Film Screening: Duty of Care Directed by Nic Balthazar
DESCRIPTION:‘Duty of Care’ tells the exclusive inside story of Roger Cox\, the Dutch lawyer who initiated the ground breaking climate trials against the (Dutch) government\, and against the oil and gas giant Shell\, two landmark rulings\, that sent shockwaves through political and corporate boardrooms around the world and led to an international wave of successful climate cases. \nWith echoes of the lawsuits against Big Tobacco this is an energizing court room drama about the pioneers of climate litigation\, as one of the final resorts to break through the stalemate in global climate action. But also\, a personal journey of an ambitious real-estate lawyer with a wife from a Shell family who goes from climate-apathy to activism after he stumbles upon Al Gore’s ‘Inconvenient truth’. Or how a documentary eventually gives birth to a new kind of unexpected climate champion\, listed as one of the 100 most influential people of 2021\, by Time Magazine. \nDirector Bio \n \nNic Balthazar \nNic Balthazar took the stage at a very young age\, even playing on Broadway at the age of 14. \nAfter studying literature at Ghent University\, he started out as a film journalist\, a radio-host and then became a popular face on Belgian TV. \nHis debut novel ‘Nothing was all he said.’ was translated in seven languages\, became a successful play and then his debut film. ‘Ben X’ was the Belgian entry for the Oscars\, and won over 14 International Prizes. \nHis second feature ‘Time of My Life’ not only won the Ensor (Belgian Oscar) for best film\, it was also the first Carbon-Neutral feature film in Europe. \nAs a longtime environmental activist Nic Balthazar was one of the founders of the climate movement in Belgium. \nHe also produced and directed several social- and environmental documentaries\, clips and interactive mass-projects\, such as ‘The Big Ask’ ‘Dance for the Climate’ ‘Clap for the Climate’ ‘Sing for the climate’ (almost half a million participants in over 40 countries). \nHe is one of the initiators of the Belgian Climate Case ‘Klimaatzaak’\, and with environmental documentaries like ‘Plannen voor Plaats’ (Plans for Space) or TV-programmes like ‘Klimaatbetoog’ (The Climate Plea) he tries to further environmental and climate awareness. \nDocumentaries such as ‘I am a Normal Person’ or ‘Like any other human’ center around the refugee crisis. Nic is a popular Key-Note speaker who speaks seven languages (fluent in Dutch\, English\, French\, German\, Swedish\, with good notions of Spanish and Italian.) \n\n\n	Related

SUMMARY:London Review of International Law Annual Lecture 2023
DESCRIPTION:Programme  \nLondon Review of International Law Annual Lecture 2023 \n17:00-18:00: Lecture (Vasuki Nesiah) – Location: MAR 2.09\n18:00-18:30: Wine reception – Location: MAR 2.08\n18:30-20:00: Panel (Susan Marks\, Surabhi Ranganathan\, Catriona Drew\, Vasuki Nesiah) – Location: MAR 2.08 \nLecture detail  \nSpeaker: Vasuki Nesiah\nChair: Stephen Humphreys \n“We are proud to apologize for genocide”: The racial investment in humanitarian capital \nThe title of this talk is a nod to Jackie Sibblies Drury’s play\, “We are proud to present a presentation…”; it is structured as a rehearsal of a play about the German genocide against the Herero people of Namibia. This structure echoes the familiar discussion of the genocide against the Herero and Nama peoples as a rehearsal for the holocaust. From Aimé Césaire to Hannah Arendt\, there is a long history of preoccupation with this relationship and the boomerang effect of genocide in the colonies and genocide in Europe. Questions of precedents and rehearsals have their own genealogy in international law and treatment of events in Europe to define the meaning of events in the colonial theater is neither unprecedented or unrehearsed.  Preoccupied by these questions\, this talk analyzes the law and policy debate over reparations for the genocides against the Herero and Nama communities\, and for the distributive legacies of settler colonialism in Namibia. The vexed history of recognition of colonial Germany’s crimes\, opens a window into the dominant framework of genocide in international law\, including its relationship to the structures of accumulation and dispossession that were central to the colonization of indigenous peoples. Is international law’s framing of the crime of genocide evidence of international law’s repudiation of racism\, or of the racial logics built into that framing? \nSpeaker bio: \nVasuki Nesiah is Professor of Practice at NYU. She has published on the history and politics of human rights\, humanitarianism\, international criminal law\, reparations\, global feminisms\, and decolonization. Nesiah was awarded the Jacob Javits Professorship (2022)\, Gallatin Distinguished Teacher Award in 2021 and the NYU Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. Faculty Award in 2020.

SUMMARY:The UK Two-Step: scheming to supplant Chapter 11 with Chapter 15
DESCRIPTION:Please register for this in-person event here \nChapter 15 of the United States Bankruptcy Code directs United States courts to “recognize” qualifying foreign insolvency proceedings. Recognition\, in turn\, is intended to give local effect to relief granted abroad\, essentially deputizing United States courts as auxiliaries of foreign courts\, empowered to enforce the foreign decree. This enforcement takes place even if the foreign proceeding adversely affects domestic creditors and even if the foreign proceeding employed restructuring methods not generally permitted by United States law. \nWithin the last several years\, however\, the United Kingdom\, Germany\, and the Netherlands (among others) have liberalized their reorganization laws by authorizing practices and procedures forbidden or unknown under United States law. These amendments were generally at the behest of insolvency professionals\, who believed these new methods promoted better and cheaper reorganizations. \nThis lecture will explore how a United States company could first file a Scheme of Arrangement\, and then seek to enforce it in the United States\, a sort of UK Two-Step. This Two-Step would have the effect of granting UK relief to a US debtor and avoiding the cost and excess time Chapter 11 cases often require. \nSpeaker: Professor Bruce A. Markell \n \nProfessor Markell is the Professor of Bankruptcy Law and Practice\, and the Edward Avery Harriman Lecturer in Law at the Northwestern Pritzker School of Law. in Chicago\, Illinois\, USA.  He is a retired bankruptcy judge and a life member of the American Law Institute\, a fellow of\, and a past scholar in residence at\, the American College of Bankruptcy\, and a founding member of the International Insolvency Institute.  In 2016\, he completed a project redrafting Kosovo’s bankruptcy law. \nChair: Professor Sarah Paterson \n \nSarah Paterson (lse.ac.uk) \nThis event will be followed by a drinks reception. \n\n\n	Related

SUMMARY:Climate litigation in Europe – where next?
DESCRIPTION:  \n \n \n – In person –  Climate Litigation in Europe – Where next?  \n – Online  – Climate Litigation in Europe – Where next? \nhttps://lse.zoom.us/j/88376096484 \nClimate Change Litigation is a growing global phenomenon. The Inter-governmental Panel on Climate Change has recognised that such litigation may influence the “outcome and ambition” of climate governance. To date\,  close to 300 climate litigation cases have been filed in Europe\, either before national or regional courts. European legislators are now in the process of finalising negotiations on sweeping new legislative reforms to implement the goals of the European Climate Law\, which requires the bloc to reduce emissions by 55% by 2030 and achieve climate neutrality by 2050. This legislative package will have a profound impact on the future direction of climate litigation across the continent. \nAt the same time\, the Grand Chamber of the European Court of Human Rights\, has announced a series of hearings on pending climate change litigation cases\, starting on 29th March 2023. The cases\, Verein KlimaSeniorinnen Schweiz and Others v. Switzerland\, Carême v. France\, and Duarte Agostinho and Others v. Portugal and 32 Others\, all allege that climate change is impacting on the human rights of European citizens\, and that European governments are failing in their duty to prevent these impacts. \nThis event will bring together experts in climate law and human rights from the London School of Economics and the University of Zurich\, and counsel in the Klimaseniorinnen and Agostinho cases. We will start by providing an overview of legislative developments in Europe\, building on an upcoming report from the Grantham Research Institute\, before turning the spotlight on the cases before the European Court of Human Rights and the profound impact they may have on the future of climate law in Europe and beyond. \nThis event is followed by a drinks reception outside MAR 2.08. \n\n\n\n\nProfessor Veerle Heyvaert\n\nKate Highham\n\n\n\nMargherita Cornaglia\n\nMarc Willers KC\n\n\n\nProfessor Christina Voigt\n\n\n\n\n  \n\n\n	Related

SUMMARY:FinTech and digital finance: (Session 5: Converging markets\, bigtech and the law)
DESCRIPTION:Register for the event\n\nSpeakers:  Dr Philipp Paech (LSE); Elisabeth Noble (European Banking Authority) \nElisabeth Noble\nDr Philipp Paech\nOverview of the Series \nThis co-curricular Master Class Series at LSE Law School is designed to provide students with a comprehensive introduction to regulatory and commercial law 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 to LLM and LLB students. It is designed to be co-curricular (i.e.\, not part of the LLM or LLB curricula) and complement other relevant courses. \nThey will earn a certificate for attending 4 or more sessions\, but the course will not count as credit\, to put towards any degree\, nor will it be examinable. \nThis is the FINAL session of the 5 Convene Masterclass Series so please join us to celebrate with a drinks reception afterwards. \nSession 5: The direct and indirect presence of BigTechs in the financial market is growing\, although their precise footprint differs between major financial centres. This raises various regulatory dilemmas\, including in the areas of competition\, data protection and financial stability. In this session we will explore the different roles that BigTechs are playing in the financial system\, and emerging regulatory responses at the international level intended to balance both the opportunities and risks arising from the rise of BigTech in finance. \nThis event will follow by a drinks reception. \nPlease note this event is FOR LSE STUDENTS only. LSE student ID card will need to be shown upon entry. \n  \n\n\n	Related

SUMMARY:BTI V Sequana: Creditor-oriented duties in company law
DESCRIPTION:Register for the event ONLINE (via Zoom)\nRegister for the event IN PERSON \n\n  \n  \nOn 5 October the UK Supreme Court decided the case in BTI v Sequana. The case decides a fundamental question of company law. It provided the first opportunity for the Supreme Court to consider the existence\, content and engagement of the so-called “creditor duty”\, which is also known as the “rule in West Mercia” after the leading case of West Mercia Safetywear v Dodd. \nThe Supreme Court confirmed that the duty exists and held that the duty exists where the company is the company is insolvent\, or bordering on insolvency\, but is not faced with an inevitable insolvent liquidation or administration. At this point the directors should consider the interests of creditors\, balancing them against the interests of shareholders where they may conflict. The greater the company’s financial difficulties\, the more the directors should prioritise the interests of creditors. \nLSE Law is delighted to host an event with a panel of eminent speakers who will discuss the case and its implications for company and insolvency law. \nAndrew Thompson KC represented BTI in the Supreme Court \nLeslie Kosmin KC decided a similar case as a Deputy Judge in Colin Gwyer v London Warf \nSarah Paterson is a professor at LSE Law specialising in insolvency law \nMary Stokes is a visiting professor (in practice) at LSE Law \nThe event will be chaired by Eva Micheler\, who is a professor at LSE Law specialising in company law. \n\n\n	Related
