Contract Law Developments 2024 A briefing for the Fintech Sector

The success of the UK Fintech sector, and its ability to thrive in a world of economic volatility and geopolitical uncertainty, is underpinned by a variety of business contracts – partnership and collaboration agreements, supply of services agreements, tech sourcing, outsourcing and data services arrangements and so many others.

In this breakfast briefing Bird & Bird partner Andrew White will provide a whistlestop tour of recent developments in English business-to-business contract law, highlighting topics including limitation of liability, contract formation, good faith, audit and disputes about the interpretation of contract language. Our aim is to provide you with an informal setting to meet and network with Fintech peers and arm you with the tools and insights to support your negotiation, drafting, advice and dispute management on commercial agreements.

Who is this for?

This session is for in-house counsel of all levels. Andrew will ensure time for questions.

What do you mean by Fintech?

Fintech means different things to different people! It includes: (1) traditional financial services companies (e.g. operating in the banking, insurance, payments, asset management and consultancy arenas), (2) fast-moving “Fintech” start-ups, scale-ups and high-growth companies (e.g. in the payments, regtech, wealthtech, insurtech and blockchain industries), and (3) tech companies providing services into the financial services sector, in all cases, that are interesting in the impact of regulation and disruptive digital technologies on their businesses.
