location
Online & Campus Westend, Casino Festsaal

In co-operation with the Freshfields and the Center for Financial Studies, the Institute for Law and Finance invites you to join the 11th Conference on the Banking Union. The topic of this year's conference is "Judicial Review in the Banking Union".

We will explore the system of legal protection as well as the role of European courts and administrative bodies within the system of “checks and balances” in the Banking Union. Key aspects to be discussed will include the development and functioning of judicial and administrative review, the impact of courts in promoting the Banking Union and shaping banking regulation, supervision, and resolution, as well as trends, challenges and opportunities in this respect. We will also consider implications for the current state and the future of the Banking Union.
