Commercial Awareness Compass #36 | The future of buy-now-pay-later schemes
- Featuring:
- 17:00-17:30
- Wednesday 13th August
- An Expert Lawyer & Future Trainee Host
Join us for this week's Commercial Awareness Compass, a free weekly virtual session designed to help you develop the commercial mindset top law firms are looking for.
What's on the agenda?
Buy now pay later has revolutionised online spending, especially for younger shoppers seeking interest-free funding but escaped the checks that govern credit cards and loans. The FCA is closing that gap with proposals for affordability testing on even the smallest purchases, Financial Ombudsman access and lender support obligations. Legal teams will steer clients through authorisation, data-protection challenges and advertising compliance. Explore how regulation will alter the BNPL market and what law firms must do to help clients adapt and prosper.
What is the Compass?
Each Wednesday, a future trainee solicitor and an expert lawyer will guide you through one major news story, breaking it down from beginner to advanced levels. You’ll gain a deeper understanding of how the story impacts the legal industry and beyond, equipping you with the insights needed to stand out in applications and interviews.
What You’ll Get
- Live 30-Minute Session: A structured breakdown of a key story with expert analysis.
- Tailored Insights: Progress at your own level, from foundational concepts to advanced perspectives.
- Weekly Summary: Can’t attend live? Get the key takeaways sent straight to your inbox.
