Emerging Themes in Financial Regulation & Disputes

Trends, risks, and areas of opportunity in financial services

Welcome to BCLP’s Emerging Themes in Financial Regulation & Disputes. Providing you with updates and insights from our financial services lawyers considering the latest trends, risks, and areas of opportunity in financial services.

For 2024, our overarching theme is ‘People in Focus‘, because although financial services is seeing exponential growth and adoption of technological innovation, we still work in a people business where success depends on the quality of our human capital, the strength of the connections between individuals and their capacity to navigate change.  Within this theme we examine three main pillars: Consumers, Change and Conduct.

Over the course of 2024, we will be keeping you up to date on the fast-paced world of financial regulation and disputes with regular updates and insights from our financial services lawyers.
