Financial services disputes may seem sector specific, but they are ones encountered every day by businesses that are not in the city of London.Â
This session aims to demystify the evolving financial disputes landscape for General Counsel's in non-financial services businesses, highlighting why these developments matter to legal strategy and boardroom conversations and what practical steps might be taken to manage the risks. We will look at: Â
Â
- Payment and financing disputes: with banks over withheld funds, mis-sold financial products (such as interest rate swaps or FX products) or commercial lending terms
Â
-Â Insurance policy coverage disputes: what to do when insurers refuse to pay your claims under commercial insurance policies (such as business interruption, cyber or D&O liability) and where your broker may have dropped the ball
Â
- Pension scheme related disputes: an overview of what might go wrong, Â especially for businesses that sponsor DB or DC schemes, and how the Pensions Regulator may intervene
Â
- Listed PLCs: supervision by the Financial Conduct Authority
and what powers does the regulator have when it suspects non-compliance.
Please RSVP to secure your place.Â
We hope you are able to join us.Â
