Bringing the benefits of our combination as Herbert Smith Freehills Kramer to our clients on both sides of the Atlantic, "Bridging Divergence" is a series of webinars exploring different approaches in the US, EU and UK across a variety of themes.

The first session of the Bridging Divergence series brings together experts from Herbert Smith Freehills Kramer LLP to explore the foundational legal structures shaping sustainable finance in the US, EU, and UK, with a particular focus on sustainability rules affecting the finance industry. With increasing divergence in regulatory approaches across the Atlantic, this session will provide a grounding in the legal systems and administrative frameworks that underpin sustainability rules in financial services.

What to expect:

  • US Legal Foundations: Federalism, administrative law, and the role of courts and Congress in shaping sustainability regulation.

  • EU & UK Systems: The interplay between EU institutions and national governments, post-Brexit divergence, and national policy levers.

  • Practical Case Study: Financial risk management as a lens to understand cross-border regulatory challenges and fiduciary duties.
