The Financial Services Lawyers Association is pleased to announce its annual essay competition.
The title for this year’s competition is: “Can the risks and opportunities of AI in financial services be managed by fine-tuning existing regulation, or is a new approach required?“
The purpose of the essay competition is to provide students, trainees, and pupil barristers with the opportunity to apply their studies to issues that are of particular relevance to the financial services industry and wider society.
Essays should be no longer than 1,500 words, and the deadline for entries is midnight on Friday 6 October 2023.
Prizes
The Chris Stallard Memorial (First) Prize: £1,500 and a legal internship at the FCA
Second Prize: £750
Third prize: £500
We hope to present the prizes at FSLA’s winter social event. In any case, winners will be notified by the end of 2023.
There is no requirement that entrants be FSLA members; however, free membership is offered to all students. Please email fslalondon@gmail.com for further details.
