Gamestop in the US; the UK payments outlook for 2021; insider trading cases at the CTFC in the US; tax issues for regulated businesses

Jonathan Herbst gives a quick update on Brexit before examining the short selling restrictions on GameStop in the US from a UK market abuse perspective. We’re delighted to be joined by Carole Begent, General Counsel and Head of Enforcement and Competition at the Payment Systems Regulator, who discusses the year ahead with our own payments professional Albert Weatherill. We also hear from Joseph Williams, a partner in Washington, DC, who takes a look at insider trading cases brought by the CTFC, and tax partner Michael Alliston, who flags a tax regulation that may have gone under the radar of many financial services businesses.
