We were delighted to have hosted our first conference of 2022 on Wednesday 30th March jointly with the LSTA at Allen & Overy's offices in Bishopsgate.
We held our first face-to-face conference of 2022 in London on 30 March jointly with the LSTA. This joint conference was hugely popular and we were delighted that it was one of the first physical events we held this year. Having attracted senior and middle management professionals that work in the UK, Europe and US, it was an ideal opportunity to discuss some of the key challenges and opportunities that faced the syndicated loan market.
The programme explored the latest market trends and legal developments on either side of the Atlantic with some of the most respected and senior professionals in the industry speaking.
Topics this year included:
- Global Economic Outlook
- UK and US loan market: trends and insights
- Growth of direct lending
- ESG disclosure - can the loan market get what it needs?
- Is disorder the new normal? Geopolitics and the loan market in 2022
- Developments in sustainable finance
- The LIBOR wind-down – smooth sailing or bumps in the road?
- Regulatory update
