In-house Financial Services Conference 2022 | The Lawyer | 4 July 2022 | etc.venues Fenchurch Street, 8 Fenchurch Pl, London EC3M 4PB, UK

Last year was a steep learning curve for the legal profession. This year, we will be building on those learnings as we focus on the post pandemic issues concerning the financial services sector.

Our 2-day program highlights the growth opportunities, potential pitfalls and best practice that has emerged from the year that stalked the shadows of the 2008 financial crisis.

Building on the virtual format of last year’s conference, this year we created a prospective program to explore the pertinent themes dominating the desks of GCs this year. The virtual event delivered a wide range of webinars, interactive roundtables and a selection of themed networking sessions.

The Financial Services sector operates in a fast paced and high-pressured environment. Meanwhile, businesses are also dealing with change at an unprecedented rate, with volatility across financial markets and jurisdictions. Senior in-house legal counsel working in this sector need to continuously stay on top of the latest regulatory, governmental and environmental changes to lead their businesses through the turbulence of market changes and capitalise on growth opportunities.

The conference brings together 90+ senior in-house counsel from across the financial services sector to discuss, benchmark and exchange ideas. We will continue to focus on the practical challenges of the latest regulatory updates as well as how legal leaders can contribute to positive growth and development across Financial Services.
