The Close of the PISCES Consultation Period – An Opportunity for Private Market Growth
On 6 March 2024, HM Treasury published a consultation paper (the Consultation Paper) on the proposed creation of the Private Intermittent Securities and Capital Exchange System (PISCES), a new trading platform that will offer private companies the ability to trade their securities intermittently. The aim of PISCES is to facilitate growth in the private market and to allow private companies an easier transition to public markets, as they will gain exposure to a wider breadth of investors within a bespoke regulatory environment that draws on existing public market regulations. PISCES will operate within a financial market infrastructure (FMI) sandbox, allowing the system and accompanying regulations to be trialled in a controlled setting for a proposed period of five years before the scheme is made permanent.

What Is the National Cryptocurrency Enforcement Team?
The National Cryptocurrency Enforcement Team (NCET) is part of the DOJ’s Criminal Division.

Law Glossary
Cloud computing law deals with the legal issues, such as data confidentiality, that occur when business and personal assets are placed on a cloud computing service. Because the IT infrastructure used in the cloud is owned by someone other than the organization collecting the information, issues arise. Cloud computing allows companies to use fewer resources and may involve public, private, and hybrid versions of cloud processing and storage.
