SUMMARY:FinTech and digital finance: (Session 3: Advising in digital finance)
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 all five sessions\, but the course will not count as credit\, to put towards any degree\, nor will it be examinable. \nSession 3: Digital finance is transforming the way in which financial products are distributed and financial services delivered. In some cases\, technology is also facilitating the introduction of new products and services (notably\, in the area of crypto-assets). In this session we will highlight key issues regulatory practitioner would be expected to advise upon\, including considerations relating to licencing\, AML/CFT\, consumer protection\, client asset protection\, and operational resilience.

SUMMARY:Achieving justice For Ukrainians
DESCRIPTION:If you are unable to attend in person\, register for the event here  \nSpeakers: David Lammy MP\, Shadow Secretary of State for Foreign\, Commonwealth and Development Affairs\nWayne Jordash QC\, Managing Partner Global Rights Compliance LLP \nChair: Michelle Hughes\, Human rights lawyer\, former US military intelligence officer now a PhD candidate at LSE Law \nAn understanding of the nature and scale of the international crimes being committed in Ukraine by Russian forces and the role of the Ukrainian justice system and international actors are critical to an understanding of the challenges that lie ahead in trying to fashion some kind of accountability and justice for the Ukrainians. The starting point must surely be a focus on Russia’s methodology of war and its objectives. International actors\, including the ICC\, are important\, but in the end will they offer anything more than symbolic participation? Should not the overriding and overwhelming responsibility for addressing these crimes fall instead on the Ukrainian judicial system and civil society? If this is the case\, these will need supporting\, not only in symbolic ways\, but in real and tangible support on the ground. What is the true objective behind such support? Trials are important but are they sufficient?  Does not justice need to be approached in a broader\, more holistic way? \nDavid Lammy MP\n\nWayne Jordash QC \n\nMichelle Hughes

SUMMARY:The repatriation of cultural treasures from museums:  are there legal solutions?
DESCRIPTION:The past 20 years have brought a series of high-level requests for the repatriation of important treasures\, held in British museums\, to their countries of origin.  Latest polls show more than 50% of English public support returning the Parthenon Marbles to Greece.  The Horniman Museum has returned its collection of Benin Bronzes to Nigeria.  There are pending repatriation requests\, of various degrees of seriousness\, from Egypt\, India\, and Australia.  In other countries\, there have been repatriations based on long-term loans or indeed straight returns.  In this country\, it’s more complicated.  This event will discuss repatriation as a historical phenomenon in the context of museum collection development\, and as a political problem in the present\, and ask whether existing cultural heritage law has a significant role to play in untangling some of these problems. \nSpeaker:  Dr. Tatiana Flessas \nTatiana Flessas holds a BA in Philosophy from Wellesley College\, a JD from Northeastern University School of Law\, and an LLM and PhD from the London School of Economics. Before joining LSE\, she practiced law in the US and taught at the University of Reading School of Law. Her research interests are in cultural property and heritage law\, law and social theory\, and law and literature. \n

SUMMARY:Genital cutting and the dignity of the child
DESCRIPTION:Speaker: Professor Kai Möller (LSE) \nThe genital cutting of girls (‘Female Genital Mutilation’) is usually seen as a grave crime\, whereas the genital cutting of boys (‘circumcision’) is seen as unproblematic. Professor Kai Möller will make the case for assessing genital cutting not only or primarily in terms of the harm that such practices inflict on children but also in terms of children’s human rights and human dignity. He will argue that the genital cutting of children is wrong as a matter of principle because it violates the three dignitarian principles of moral autonomy\, fundamental equality\, and intrinsic value.

SUMMARY:US Tax Law Masterclass - Session 1
DESCRIPTION:To put it simply\, ‘You don’t do a deal without talking to the tax team’.

SUMMARY:Extraterritorial\, universal\, or transnational human rights law?
DESCRIPTION:Speaker: Dr Dalia Palombo  \nTraditionally\, international human rights adjudication relied on the paradigm of extraterritoriality on the rare occasions when it was confronted with cross-border cases.  However\, with globalization\, transboundary human rights cases have multiplied\, and the extraterritoriality paradigm has been increasingly proven unfit to address global crises. Therefore\, it is necessary to look beyond extraterritoriality. This lecture analyses the competing paradigms of universality and transnationality as domestic courts have adopted them. It argues that international human rights adjudication should reconceptualise extraterritoriality against the background of universality and transnationality to address global crises. \nDr Dalia Palombo\n  \nThis event will be followed by a drinks reception.

SUMMARY:Leading wherever they want? CSR\, ESG and directors’ duties
DESCRIPTION:Speaker: Professor Jens Hinrich Binder (LSE Law School Visiting Professor)\nChair: Professor Jo Braithwaite (LSE) \nFocusing on the European perspective\, this talk explores company directors’ duties in the context of the debate about promoting environmental and social (ESG) interests. It argues that\, in contrast to traditional\, shareholder-oriented concepts of directors’ duties\, new stakeholder-oriented obligations have been established\, inter alia\, by new European legislation rooted in international standards. While far more detailed and prescriptive than traditional duties\, however\, the effect of these new obligations\, in the absence of effective sanction regimes\, may well turn out to widen\, rather than narrow\, the scope for discretionary\, exploitative corporate decisions. The talk therefore ties in with the increasing critique of stakeholderist theories of corporate governance\, particularly in the US legal literature\, and highlights the differences between the US and European systems of corporate governance in this regard. \nProfessor Jens Hinrich Binder

SUMMARY:The fall of FTX and the regulation of financial market infrastructures
DESCRIPTION:Speaker:  Dr David Murphy (Visiting Professor in Practice\, LSE Law School)\nChair:  Professor Jo Braithwaite (LSE) \nThe recent failure of the crypto group FTX brought some of the differences between traditional financial market infrastructure (‘FMI’) and crypto exchanges/clearing houses into stark contrast.  This talk will discuss what we know about the causes of the collapse of FTX\, how some of these would likely not have caused issues had the group been fully regulated as an FMI\, and what this means for the future regulation of crypto exchanges.

SUMMARY:A theory of international taxation
DESCRIPTION:Speaker: Dr Eduardo Baistrocchi (LSE Law School) \nThis event is online only.  The zoom link is here: \nJoin Zoom Meeting\nhttps://lse.zoom.us/j/82996159042\n\nMeeting ID: 829 9615 9042 \nA Theory of International Taxation combines qualitative and quantitative analyses to shed light on the shaping of the international tax regime (ITR) over the last century. It offers a theory of the ITR as the product of the strategic interaction between three small groups: international investors\, tax hubs and market jurisdictions. These actors play different yet interrelated roles within the same ecosystem. The analyses show how each of the three small groups has influenced the emergence and governance structure of the ITR since its inception in the 1920s. The analyses cover the impact of shocks on the interaction between the three small groups. The book submits a normative proposal to induce the emergence of a fourth actor\, which would represent the large group of developing countries\, making the ITR more inclusive. Two unprecedented databases of\, first\, the input from the three small groups on the ITR structure\, and second\, tax treaty disputes involving the three small groups support the analyses. The group size paradox and antitrust law concepts ground the theoretical framework. \n

Failure to do so will regrettably result in denial of entry. \n“ESG” – a term used to cover a wide range of vital topics\, including the climate emergency\, biodiversity loss\, human rights and DEI (diversity\, equity and inclusion) – is one of the most frequently discussed topics in finance.  Governments are looking to the private sector to play a significant part in achieving their public policy goals\, and financial institutions are now often criticised\, and increasingly challenged in the courts\, by a range of stakeholders – sometimes for doing too much\, and sometimes for not doing enough. \nThis four-module extra-curricular course\, running in Autumn term\, will look at Sustainable Finance policy and regulation in the UK\, the EU and the United States.  We will consider why governments are seeking to regulate sustainable finance\, what they are trying to achieve\, and whether their policies are likely to be successful. \nThe course begins by explaining ESG and sustainable finance and its history\, before setting out the apparent objectives of policymakers in regulating it.  The subsequent sessions will examine and evaluate existing and forthcoming regulations\, both for financial market participants and for corporates.  The final session will also consider the litigation landscape\, and think about future development of the regulatory framework. \nCourse leaders  \nThe course will be led by: \nAlperen Gözlügöl\, Assistant Professor of Law\, LSE\nChris Rich\, General Counsel\, Financial Markets Standards Board\nSimon Witney\, Visiting Professor in Practice\, LSE \nGuest speakers \nLuke Fletcher\, Partner at Bates Wells\, Member of the founding team of B Lab UK and co-founder of the Better Business Act campaign \nJoana Setzer\, Assistant Professorial Research Fellow\, Climate governance and climate litigation\, Grantham Research Institute on Climate Change and the Environment\, LSE \nOutline Programme \nSession 1: Thursday 5 October\, 6.00pm to 7.30pm \n\nWhat is sustainable finance and why does it matter?\nAcronyms and jargon\nHistory of ESG and sustainable finance\nDiffering global perspectives on ESG\nWhat objectives should the regulators have in mind?  What do they have in mind?\nThe basic regulatory architecture in Europe\nHow can we evaluate regulatory interventions?\n\nSession 2: Thursday 12 October\, 6.00pm to 7.30pm \nCorporate reporting requirements  \n\nWhat should corporates report and who are the users of this information?\nISSB\, GRI and TCFD reporting frameworks\, as applied in the UK and the US\nCSRD and the ESRSs\nThe EU Taxonomy\nThe US approach\nVoluntary vs. Mandatory Disclosure\nBenefits and costs of sustainability disclosure\n\nSession 3: Thursday 9 November\, 6.00pm to 7.30pm  \nFinancial market participants \n\nFiduciary duties: why they matter in sustainable finance\nThe EU’s SFDR (and the Taxonomy\, again)\nGreen bonds and debt finance\nThe UK’s new and emerging regulatory requirements: TCFD\, SDR\, fund labels\, transition plans\, and the UK Taxonomy\nThe US approach\nWhat’s next?\n\nSession 4: Thursday 23 November\, 6.00pm to 7.30pm\, followed by a drinks reception \nOther market participants and drivers for a focus on sustainability \n\nBanking regulation\nThe regulation of ESG ratings agencies and data providers (EU and UK proposals)\nLitigation and disputes\, and their impact on the market\n\nWhat’s next?

SUMMARY:Israel's Constitutional Crisis CANCELED
DESCRIPTION:UPDATE: In light of the recent events\, Prof Cohen-Eliya will also address the current war situation and its relationship to the constitutional crisis.  \nIsrael is in the midst of its most severe constitutional crisis since its inception: Is the legal reform led by the Israeli government a first step towards autocratic rule like in Hungary or Poland\, or is it a democratic attempt here to balance some of the massive powers transferred to the Supreme Court from the representative institutions that took place following Aharon Barak’s “constitutional revolution”? In his talk\, Moshe Cohen Eliya will trace the sociological roots of the constitutional crisis in Israel. Following Ran Hirschl’s book “Toward a Juristocracy” (2000)\, Cohen Eliya will outline the massive transfer of power to the Supreme Court in Israel from the representative institutions and its reasons. He will situate the current internal struggle in Israel within the broader global struggle between liberals and conservatives to control the state institutions\, yet he will caution against a non-contextual approach to the migration of constitutional ideas. \nProf. Cohen Eliya is an expert in comparative constitutional law\, the former president of the College of Law and Business in Israel\, and the founder of the Israeli chapter of I-CONS (The International Society of Public Law). He is currently a Beatric Webb visiting professor at the LSE Law School. Since the beginning of the current crisis\, he has been involved in attempts to resolve it through the institutionalization of a liberal democratic constitutional framework and the re-establishment of the Constituent Assembly\, in order to complete the constitutional enterprise in Israel.
