Financial regulation will change more over the next decade than it has in the last 50 years.

Orrick’s Jerry Buckley is joined by Sasha Leonhardt, Sherry Safchuk, and Caroline Stapleton in hosting conversations with leading thinkers at the forefront of these changes, including regulators, legislators, financial services providers, data scientists, academics, opinion makers, consumer advocates and other market participants.
