Name of the event
Building Trust and Resilience Through Legislative Reform
Now in its 21st year, the Financial Markets Law Conference is back for 2025! This year, by popular demand, we are also including updates for Lending and Credit industries, making this a must-go event for professionals at the intersection of law, finance, regulation, and compliance.
In recent years, a number of very high-profile financial companies have gone bust, and 2025 saw a number of new amendment bills for the financial services, markets and credits industries – hear from key regulators (such as FMA, RBNZ, MBIE), industry leaders, and legal advisors on current developments. Join us to navigate and understand the latest so you can be at the forefront for your clients and stakeholders.
