Tuesday 21 MaySession
17:00 - 18:00 BSTThe new UK securitisation framework – smarter? (In-person – Canary Wharf, London)

The UK is now well advanced in its post-Brexit project of replacing the onshored securitisation regulation with a combination of UK legislation and regulator rulebooks. In this session, our panellists will discuss the forthcoming new 'Smarter Regulatory Framework' UK securitisation regime (or regimes!), highlight any differences between the various sets of rules, and assess the practical impact on the markets. We will also discuss the pipeline of changes yet to come to the UK securitisation regulatory landscape.

This session offers a deep dive into the phenomenon of 'delayering' within the telecoms industry, with insights into the risks, opportunities and key things to look out for as the telecoms industry goes through this period of transformation.

Tuesday 11 JuneSession
08:00 EDT / 13:00 BST / 14:00 CEST / 20:00 HKTThe expansion of inbound and outbound foreign investment screening regimes (online)

Foreign investment screening regimes are expanding in number and in scope and European Commission proposals for a revised EU FDI Regulation would exacerbate that trend. In addition, the US is set to introduce restrictions on outbound investments and is pressuring its allies to follow suit. While the US regime is aimed at investments by US persons into Chinese targets, many other transactions will be caught up in its scope. This session will cover the various implications of these regimes for financial institutions and investors, including the risks that their investments are delayed, prohibited or subject to remedies even if they are from friendly countries.

Thursday 13 JuneSession

Thursday 20 JuneSession

After the huge successes of recent years and the continued global expansion of the pool of private credit, what does the future hold? Will the boom times continue or will enthusiasm be dampened by the resurgence of syndicated bank loans and the return of CLOs? Our panel of private credit lawyers from the US, Europe and APAC regions will consider the future of, and developments in, private credit in these markets against a background of the long-awaited rise in M&A activity.
