Norton Rose Fulbright New York office’s next 40-minute financial services briefing is set for Thursday, January 5, 2017 at 12:00 noon EST. Each month, Norton Rose Fulbright’s senior practitioners will provide interested in-house counsel and professionals with an insightful discussion on current regulatory trends within the financial services sector.

The briefings will stick strictly to a 40-minute format, over a provided lunch, and begin at 12:00 PM sharp.

The January briefing will focus on Fintech: Smart contracts and regulating for innovation.

  • Mechanics of “smart contracts” and blockchain technology
  • Latest regulatory guidance and comment
  • Emerging commercial and use cases
  • Trends and future developments
