Good morning, Nina Lindholm here with the Europe Wire from the London newsroom. We kick things off today with insights from a panel of partners from Goodwin’s London antitrust, capital markets, life sciences, commercial litigation, private equity, regulatory and technology practices. The panel discussed trends shaping 2025, which include artificial intelligence and weight loss drugs. With the UK chancellor having delivered her Spring Statement yesterday, we take a look at what the announcement might mean for private markets. We have commentary from BVCA chief executive Michael Moore on that topic, focused on the defense segment.
