The Aftermath of the Financial Crisis: Part 1

The Regulatory Response: New Regulation of Hedge Funds and Private Equity Funds; Changes in the Regulation of Banks; and Extra-Territorial Reach of National Securities and Banking Laws

The financial meltdown is still being felt around the world every day. It has impacted on the way business is being done by market participants, including hedge funds and private equity funds and banks, and it has prompted several regulatory responses across the world, including new proposals and regulations in the U.S. and the EU. Part 1 of this panel of high-level experts, all with their unique international experience and point of view, will examine regulatory changes and their effectiveness in preventing future financial crises. Part 2 of the panel will discuss recent enforcement and litigation cases in the aftermath of the financial crisis. Part 3 will present a mock trial relating to recent CDO litigation.
