Payment law has recently emerged as a new area of legal study and practice. It has become a dynamic field, in which the rapid development of new technologies and the entry of new players to the industry force lawyers and regulators to keep up with an increasingly complex environment. We are pleased to invite you to attend this seminar featuring Torys lawyers who will guide you through recent developments and provide insight into forthcoming issues involved in the ongoing transformation of the landscape of the Canadian payment system.
Topics to be discussed include:
- Mobile payments: A new channel or a new payment system?
- The existing regulatory framework: is it adequate to cover new type of payment service providers?
- The increased role of processors and other intermediaries: who are they and how do they fit in?
