The Banking Scoping Forum was established to consider, in the first instance, legal uncertainties arising from the European Commission’s Banking Reform Package, published in November 2016, which proposed fundamental changes to E.U. legislation on bank resolution and bank capital. Now, this Forum provides space for experts to discuss wider issues of legal uncertainty relevant to the banking sector, including the loan market, the U.K.’s regulatory perimeter and various other complexities affecting large financial institutions. This forum’s membership comprises in-house counsel from banks and lawyers in private practice.
For further information, please see the Forum’s Terms of Reference and the 2024 Forward Schedule.
