Newsletter 1-09/2007 (apologies to those of you who inadvertently received a draft version of this newsletter earlier today) Dear [NAME] Membership Events So far we have held two events, both panel presentations. Our launch event on Principles Based Regulation attracted 170 participants. Our event comparing UK, EU and US approaches to financial regulation attracted 70. We plan to hold a variety of events in future, aimed at different audiences. Most events will be open to FSLA members only and booking will be via the website. Take a look at what we have planned, you will find the full list in our online events diary as we finalise details… Workshops – look out for our series of 11 workshops that will take place every second Wednesday between October and April. Subjects to be covered will include financial promotions, the FSA’s enforcement powers and regulating hedge funds. Seminars – upcoming seminars include a look at the divergence between regulatory law and the common law in financial services litigation and analysis of how the regulation of commodities and derivatives has changed under MiFID.
