Overview

Why You Should Attend
We are proud to present Practising Law Institute’s Sixteenth Annual Institute on Securities Regulation in Europe, the most comprehensive securities programme available in Europe, with a unique focus on the application of U.S. securities law in the EU. This Institute will provide the important U.S. perspective relevant to UK and European practice, featuring leading practitioners active in the U.S. and Europe, as well as company management, investment bankers and in-house counsel. We also will have a number of government regulators from the U.S. and the UK presenting on the latest developments and participating in the panels. 

This year’s programme will focus on the challenges of post-crisis regulation, Brexit and the EU Market Abuse Regulation. The panels will consider the implications of these developments on market activity and practice for companies and financial institutions across Europe, the U.S. and further afield.  We will also take an in-depth look at the current state of the U.S. and European equity capital markets and regulatory developments affecting those markets, and provide a practical update on recent accounting and auditing developments. This year’s programme will take a deep dive into enforcement efforts both in the U.S. and across Europe, with a panel on enforcement priorities and the approaches of the relevant regulatory agencies, as well as a panel focused on securities litigation developments important to transactional lawyers and corporate counsel. The leveraged finance market remains central to much of the cross-border deal execution in Europe, and a panel of legal practitioners and bankers will cover the latest developments in this area. The programme will also include a detailed discussion of the challenges in structuring cross border M&A transactions in light of uncertainties resulting from Brexit. This unique programme will leave you with the latest information and best practices to serve your clients.
