CLIFFORD CHANCE EVENTS

Perspectives series – Security token offerings: a global perspective (5 November 2020):
Security token offerings (STOs) involve the offering or issuance of digital tokens to investors using distributed ledger technology (DLT) or blockchain, as an alternative to traditional debt or equity financing options. As the global market for STOs has developed over the last few years, so have the approaches taken by regulators in different jurisdictions. Our panel will consider how STOs can be successfully undertaken across key global financial centres and the risks and regulatory challenges to be aware of. | For more information and to register, see the registration form

Perspectives series – Accelerating digital transformation: turning compliance, regulation and automation to your advantage (17 November 2020):
Earlier this year, Clifford Chance worked with Forbes on a global survey of 300 senior business executives, which explored their approach and attitudes to tech-driven growth. In this webinar we will discuss some of the trends and issues raised by the report – including ethical tech, Board reskilling, tech regulation, the workforce of the future, and AI and big data – and how important these are in a post-COVID-19 world. Our speakers will look at the impact these issues could have over the next decade, and what businesses need to think about now. | For more information and to register, see the registration form
