So much is changing in the FinTech, Payments and Digital Assets sectors. Whilst there is much fragmentation and divergence, there is surprising commonality in core elements of business models and the issues legislators and regulators are concerned about. Taking Payments as an example, all payments rely on some form of messaging and then settlement of the payment transactions. Ensuring this operates reliably and resiliently, meeting the requirements of businesses and customers, with transparency and protecting consumers and other customers and the integrity of currencies and markets, is at the heart of legislators’/regulators’ aims. This can be met with a combo of specific rules; high level rules/principles designed to meet the required outcomes; and technical and other standards. Getting the balance right between protection and allowing freedom to develop new models and tech is vital to support the innovation to increase speed of transactions and reduce their cost. We so enjoy the challenge to helping the industry, legislators and regulators move in the right direction and look forward to engaging with you all on the continuing journey. Let me know if you’d like to discuss the best ways of accelerating this process!

The rules on what can be held in UCITS funds ('gold standard' EU retail funds), date back to 2007. Since then, financial markets have served up any number of new products and instruments. ESMA has this week launched a "Call for Evidence", to assess the risks and benefits of UCITS taking exposure to eg #crypto, #commodities, #loans, #catbonds #cocos #SPACs and other assets. While there are opportunities to clear up ambiguities and update the regime for the 2020s, any narrowing of the investible universe will impact UCITS managers and restrict retail access to excluded asset classes. Some products may no longer be viable in the UCITS wrapper. The call has gone out: time for the industry to respond. 📢 🔔 📢

Agree that this case contains is a helpful checklist for landlords and tenants to work through when considering remediation orders and service charge recovery under the Building Safety Act. This is very much a starting point. As with any new legislation, there are grey areas which will be tested in the years to come and developed through case law. #BSA #landlordandtenant

Swedish fintech giant Klarna is transforming its legal operations with ChatGPT Enterprise, streamlining contract drafting and slashing time spent from hours to mere minutes. Senior Managing Legal Counsel, Selma Bogren, highlights the shift: “ChatGPT drafts in ten minutes what used to take an hour, allowing for quick, bespoke adjustments.” With 86% of Klarna’s legal team using generative AI, this marks a significant change in how legal departments operate. However, caution is essential, as past misuse of AI in legal contexts has led to serious repercussions. This move aligns with broader trends, as 51% of lawyers see AI playing a role in legal work. Is this the future of legal practice? https://lnkd.in/exQ-nBy7

If you have to look at commercial or financial contracts, in particular, force majeure clauses which contain reasonable endeavours provisos, read on.... In RTI Ltd v MUR Shipping BV, the UK Supreme Court unanimously overturned the split Court of Appeal decision and held that reasonable endeavours does not require a party to accept non-contractual performance (in this case payment in another currency), providing much needed clarity on this very fundamental point as a matter of principle. https://lnkd.in/euWvapN4
