Speakers
The Right Hon. the Lord Hunt of Wirral MBE
Chris Perrin, executive partner and general counsel, Clifford Chance LLP
Professor Julia Black, Centre for the Analysis of Risk and Regulation, LSE
The issues discussed included:
- What is the ideal relationship between a healthy, independent legal profession, government and regulation?
- Can the different needs of City firms and the high-street be met without reintroducing the regulatory clutter Clementi aimed to resolve?
- Is this the time for the creation of innovative new models or the relearning of old lessons?
- Are the skills needed for the oversight of corporate firms readily available to regulators?
- Would the public interest be served by satisfying the current mood for confrontation rather than collaboration between regulators and businesses?
