Markets, Misconduct and the Technological Age

In these essays experts in financial crime, regulation and markets provide an international analysis of the market for trusts and explain how digital disruption is refashioning the legal services market. They also explore how whistleblowing, as in the example of the Panama Papers, has undermined the offshore secrecy market; how technology has impacted insider-trading behaviour and the regulatory response; and why criminal risks posed by new technologies must be managed under global anti-money laundering standards. Critical issues in the legitimacy or illegitimacy of markets and the role of regulation in preventing and investigating financial crime are addressed.
