Financial Markets and Funds Partner Neil Robson spoke with Law.com and Grip regarding potential government reforms in the works by the Labour Party following Prime Minister Keir Starmer's remarks at the International Investment Summit to encourage foreign investors to come and invest in Britain by "ripping up bureaucracy." Neil expressed his skepticism of Starmer's comments. He stated, "It is all well and good for the Prime Minister to pledge to "upgrade the regulatory regime" and to "rip up" bureaucracy, but we need detail. The last Government already took steps to upgrade the UK's regulatory regime with the Edinburgh Reforms, but we have heard nothing about this since Labour took over."
