Jersey and Guernsey:
Sovereignty, Brexit, the European Union: The Channel Islands and Financial Regulation
As jurisdictions that operate autonomously from British law, Jersey and Guernsey have operated neither completely inside nor outside of the European Union. As such, they have served as an investment gateway to Europe, but also are a source of regulatory know how on operating in the EU’s shadow—knowledge of particular importance now to a post-Brexit UK. As international financial centers, they play a role in enforcing sanctions, tax obligations, and controls on money laundering and terrorist financing. The Global Lawyering Course will provide students the opportunity to see this environment directly through meetings with government officials, regulators, and practitioners both from the law and financial sectors.
Faculty: Charlotte Ku and Andrew Morriss, Dean, School of Innovation
