The case for English law: Underpinning the City - and the UK economy - CSFI

Why you should watch: Last month, two of the UK's most senior lawyers, Dame Elizabeth Gloster and Guy Beringer, published a letter in the FT urging the government to provide the sort of support for the UK's dispute resolution system that it already does for, say, the film and fashion industries. After all, English law is crucial to the UK economy - and there is no doubt that it is under challenge from NY law, from Brexit and from the development of local alternatives not least in Asia. Liz and Guy explain what they want, and why. And Simon Gleeson adds his own contribution to a topic that will become increasingly important.

Dame Elizabeth Gloster, currently a senior arbitrator, is a former Judge of the Appeals Court, head of the Commercial Court and Vice-president of the Civil Division. She was appointed to the Privy Council in 2013, and is currently preparing a report into the LCF affair.

Guy Beringer QC is a former senior partner at Allen and Overy, a non-exec at HM Courts Services and a panel member of the Cooperation and Competition Panel. He is also chairman of the Legal Education Foundation and an Adjunct Professor at Imperial College Business School.

Simon Gleeson is a partner at Clifford Chance, chairman of the Institute for International Finance's cross-border resolution committee, a Visiting Professor at Edinburgh and a Visiting Fellow at All Souls.
