TO BE PUBLISHED IN THE JULY/AUGUST 2013 ISSUE OF IFLR INDUSTRY POLL SERIES MANAGING CROSS-BORDER RISK FOR IN-HOUSE COUNSEL
Extraterritorial regulation Guest edited by Its impact on the financial services industry Growth in extraterritorial regulation has escalated exponentially since the financial crisis. Financial institutions now have to cope with an increasingly complicated and often conflicting web of regulation, driven by two factors. The first is the adoption by many jurisdictions of requirements not included in multilateral agreements and the second is the implementation by regulators of new requirements on banks operating outside their borders. This is why extraterritorial regulation has become the number one issue of concern for in-house counsel at financial institutions. These lawyers are now telling IFLR that they urgently need more guidance in this area so that they can provide their businesses with clear advice on the implication of doing cross border business with foreign entities. In response to this demand IFLR is launching its Extraterritorial Regulation Survey. Conducted on a global basis, the survey will provide clarification on regulatory developments in unfamiliar jurisdictions, and how local regulatory regimes are responding to developing extraterritorial practice in the US and Europe. Guest edited by Philip R. Wood QC (Hon), Head - Global Law Intelligence Unit, Allen & Overy, the results will be published as a dedicated supplement with the July/August issue of IFLR. It will provide readers with: Jurisdictional traffic light risk rating At-a-glance overview of each featured jurisdiction Highlighting significant local risk factors Facilitating an easy comparison of territories Contributions from local law experts Concise guidance on local law Offered by firms recommended to IFLR by our international partners See overleaf for your invitation Expert analysis from leading international practitioners See right for confirmed contributors Philip R.

It is neutral in terms of legal values and seeks only to measure the degree of freedom as against legal restriction. The ratings are: BLUE unrestricted regulation Indicates that the legal position is unrestricted, not bound by rules, relaxed. GREEN limited regulation Indicates a light touch regulatory regime with limited controls or impact. YELLOW moderate regulation Indicates a moderately intrusive regulatory regime. RED strict regulation Indicates that there are prohibitions, strict legal regulations or statutory laws.
