Talking Points

Recent interactions between the hosts and their guests.

'EUnpacked' #5: The EU ETS Revision – what’s next for Europe’s carbon market?
Q: What does good internal preparation look like for clients wanting to stay ahead of the changes?
Gather a clear picture of regulatory outlook under various outcomes, assess how free allocation conditions and carbon prices affect capital plans, compare with competitors, stress test investment decisions, and ensure cross-functional alignment across legal, finance, and operations to articulate which design choices matter most and why.
'EUnpacked' #5: The EU ETS Revision – what’s next for Europe’s carbon market?
Q: What should businesses do now to prepare for the ETS revision?
Start by mapping their own position under different regulatory outcomes, run scenario-based assessments to understand exposure and costs, and engage with policymakers early with concrete data and proposals rather than generic concerns. Develop internal cross-functional teams to align legal, finance, operations, and government affairs, and begin planning strategies for advocacy and investment timing ahead of final legislation.
Well-Caffeinated: What the Retail Moment Means for Private Capital
Q: Question 2: Does the nature or number of investors in retail private capital products change the likelihood or type of private litigation risk?
Answer: Yes. A broader, more diverse investor base increases the potential for disputes over disclosures, conflicts of interest, and allocation decisions; hence, enhanced training for distributors, clearer allocation policies, and rigorous monitoring of intermediary channels are essential to mitigate risk.
Well-Caffeinated: What the Retail Moment Means for Private Capital
Q: Question 1: How should investment managers launching a retail private capital product think about the risk of private litigation?
Answer: Build and maintain robust, relationship-driven governance with long-standing LPs, emphasize strong, ongoing communication and transparency, and design a robust, scalable compliance program that anticipates governance, valuation, and distribution challenges unique to retail investors, rather than relying solely on static disclosures.
Essential Antitrust #51: Inside the new EU Merger Guidelines with Daniele Calisti: policy, economics and practice
Q: What's the one thing deal teams should do differently starting today?
Affirmatively build the case for clearance from day one by mapping potential theories of harm, ensuring robust evidence on efficiencies, and constructing a credible theory of benefits that can be presented early to regulators.
