Primary concerns - in-house lawyers lobby against shake-up of share offering regulation
By Alex Aldridge | October 13, 2010
The decision to split the Financial Services Authority (FSA) between the Bank of England and a new Consumer Protection and Markets Authority (CPMA) was greeted unenthusiastically by lawyers, many of whom questioned the need for such upheaval given the FSA's improved performance over the last couple of years. Now a further plan to extract the UK Listing Authority (UKLA) from the FSA and relocate it within the Financial Reporting Council (FRC) is generating another wave of discontent.

Litigation and dispute resolution: The new, new thing
By Legal Week | September 28, 2010
Richard Fields likes antitrust cases; so far he likes them to the tune of $79m (£50m). Since late 2007, when he helped establish and float Juridica Capital Management on AIM, London Stock Exchange's junior market - raising $180m (£115m) in the process - Fields has been combing the US litigation market for commercial suits for his fund to invest in. Over the last three years, New York-based Juridica has sunk almost half of that money into five antitrust cases. Ferreting out the right antitrust case - that is, one in which liability has already been admitted - is as close to a sure thing as you can get in litigation financing, he boasts. The risk on liability "is typically very low [in these cases], especially in the United States, where there have been criminal convictions or plea agreements with the US Department of Justice," adds Fields, a former Dickstein Shapiro partner.
