Bitcoin, paypal, crowdfunding - one must not look far to see how technological innovation is beginning to transform finance. Chancellor George Osborne has said that he wants London to become the global centre for financial technology (Fintech). But law may prove to be the main obstacle. Many legal problems surrounding the new technologies are still unresolved. This event focusses on alternative payment systems and virtual currencies. It will bring together speaker from the UK, Japan and Germany to discuss regulatory as well as transactional and conflict-of-laws issues.
The event will be followed by a drinks reception and networking.
