Q84 Chair: Good afternoon and welcome to the Treasury Committee evidence session on the lessons from Greensill Capital. We are very pleased to be joined by one witness this afternoon, Lex Greensill. Lex, welcome to the Committee. For the public record, could I ask you very briefly to introduce yourself to the Committee? I believe that you have a short statement that you would like to make to the Committee, so can you make your brief introduction and statement, please? Lex Greensill: My name is Lex Greensill. Thank you for the opportunity to participate in this important hearing and to answer your questions, and I hope to provide clarity and greater understanding of the issues before us. Please understand that I bear complete responsibility for the collapse of Greensill Capital. I am desperately saddened that more than 1,000 very hard-working people have lost their jobs at Greensill. Likewise, I take full responsibility for any hardship being felt by our clients and their suppliers, and indeed by investors in our programmes. It is deeply regrettable that we were let down by our leading insurer, whose actions ensured Greensill’s collapse, and indeed by some of our biggest customers.

  • The Legal Profession and the Business of Law
    The Legal Profession and the Business of Law Joanne Bagust Abstract ‘Professional Responsibility and Ethics’ is one of the ‘Priestley 11’ law subjects compulsorily undertaken by Australian law students who aspire to be admitted to practice. Many of the brightest join the major corporate law firms. Nevertheless, there is little theoretical analysis of how those firms are functioning to affect the professional and ethical conduct of their practitioners in the neoliberal state. In this article it is argued that in the mature and highly competitive marketplace for legal services, rather than working as autonomous professionals, corporate lawyers are now finding themselves working more and more as functionaries subservient to the dictates of their corporate clients. Drawing on interviews with Australian major law firm corporate lawyers and Charles Derber’s theory on the proletarianisation of professional workers, it is argued that corporate lawyers are losing key elements of their professional identity in the impetus to maintain the client list and the profit motive. Furthermore, as the balance of power in the corporate legal sector is shifting from law firms to clients, the professional ethics of law firm lawyers are at risk of being compromised as they find themselves being reduced to little more than ‘flush’ factory fodder for the major corporations. I Introduction: the Legal Profession and the Law/Business Nexus For some years now scholars have been writing about the deprofessionalisation of the legal profession, a malaise which, it is claimed, has infected the profession to the extent that ‘the noble profession’1 is ‘losing its soul’.2 Indeed, just what it means, or should mean, to be a legal professional working in corporate legal practice in Australia at the beginning of the third millennium is highly contested.

The Paris Forum on Trans- nationalPractice for the Legal Profession is historic because it was the first meeting of multiple bar associations devoted entirely to a discussion of the transnational practice of law. Before the Paris Forum, some bar organizations had set aside time during their meetings to discuss the transnational practice of law and transnationallegal services had been included as a topic in general conferences that were not limited to legal services or legal topics. The Paris Forum, however, was the first meeting of lawyers from around the world devoted solely to this topic.

US markets continued the monetary liquidity fueled run to ever sillier valuation levels, while non-US lagged relatively. The majority of our holdings were positive in the quarter. The Fund’s exposure to China and Hong Kong (including Netherlands-listed Prosus, whose business is driven by the Chinese consumer) was the biggest geographic headwind.

Despite relative underperformance, it was a solid period for value per share growth at our holdings. “Value” had a (we believe temporary) pullback vs. “growth” in the second quarter on the back of lower interest rates and various other factors. Over the last year, we have seen interest rate consensus go from “low rates forever” for most of 2020 to “rates are definitely going up” in February/March of 2021 to what now feels like magical goldilocks thinking for growth stocks in the 1-2% US 10-year range.
