This conference is supported by the Society of Legal Scholars and the City Law School.
The purpose of the 4th conference is to support PhD students and early-career researchers with an interest in Financial Law and Regulation and to gather influential scholars and practitioners in the field from the UK and Ireland. The conference delegates will present new research work and discuss the recent legal and regulatory developments in the field. The conference will encourage lively debate and will bring together a wide range of perspectives, including from regulators and industry.
We invite abstract submissions (maximum 300 words) for papers that explore the law in the following fields:
- International finance and European Union financial law, including developments related to Brexit.
- Recent developments in Fintech.
- Sustainable finance, including ethics and culture in the financial services sector.
- Financial stability and developments in regulatory architecture.
- Developments in the private law of finance, financial services litigation, and consumer protection.
- New trends in corporate finance.
Those interested in presenting their work should submit their abstracts by email to [email protected] by Thursday, 17 April 2025. We aim to respond to authors whose papers have been accepted within one to two weeks after the submission deadline.
Travel and Accommodation
The conference will be held in person only, and participation will be free of charge; however, delegates will be expected to cover their own travel and accommodation expenses. Food and refreshments will be provided by the conference.
The conference has a small hardship fund to help cover (or contribute to) the travel and accommodation costs of doctoral researchers (PGRs) and early career researchers (ECRs) who submit abstracts but may be unable to attend the conference for financial reasons. Individuals can apply to the fund by submitting an abstract (and being selected as speakers at the conference) and indicating in their submission email that they wish to apply to the hardship fund.
