Transparency & Data Protection: Is the Pendulum about to Swing Back? 

Over the past few years, bankers, family offices and investment managers have had to contend with a number of rules affecting international clients, including FATCA, the Common Reporting Standard (CRS) and beneficial ownership registers. 

These developments form part of everyday life and they are here to stay. However, there are huge data protection issues (risk of hacking, data breaches), and Mishcon de Reya has brought the first case against HMRC based on the new GDPR rules. 

This presentation looked at some of the implications and what they might mean for you and your clients.
