This seminar aims to give the students a better understanding of some of these key topics that are globally discussed today, with a special focus on what does really sustainable finance and crypto assets paradigm mean for the financial industry and for the students (as costumers and as potential future lawyers or participants in the financial industry sector).
We will also make a review of the key elements on investor protection framework in the European Union, review on key cases of mis-selling practices and what could happened again in the future.
