Publication excerpt
"Banking has a global reach and ambition. It is also a heavily regulated industry. Simply staying abreast of the ongoing developments of the business and its regulatory environment is a challenge, even for the most dedicated specialist, let alone anticipating future change. Technological developments constantly threaten to disrupt the industry, but it remains difficult to predict whether, when or to what extent this will happen and how regulators will address the resulting challenges. Fintech has already triggered initiatives for regulatory change in numerous jurisdictions, but developments continue at a breathtaking pace. Furthermore, intermittent scandals and crises prompt regulators and lawmakers to launch new regulatory initiatives. For the legal practitioner, it is therefore important to look past the buzzwords and perform a thorough analysis from a legal and regulatory perspective in each individual case, futureproofing the advice given whenever possible."
