On this episode, Sabine VdL interviews Nick Pester. Sabine has known Nick for over 4 years. They met when Nick showed strong interest in the tech startups accepted within Sabine’s accelerator programs and was willing to mentor them with advice when he was leading the Financial Services, Insurance & InsurTech practices at Capital Law. Nick moved from legal advice within a legal firm to becoming the group general of one of the leading InsurTech growth ventures in the UK. He is also an Advisor to the Chartered Insurance Institute and the Centre for Data Ethics & Innovation on Digital Ethics and the use of Artificial Intelligence in Insurance. On this podcast they catch-up to understand what the past 4 years has brought to him in terms of lessons learnt. KEY TAKEAWAYS I fell into insurance, the firm I applied to for a training contract was a media and entertainment specialist, which was something I was interested in at the time – advising big bands on tour around the world! But they had a really strong insurance practice and I really enjoyed the fact that there was a dual-layer to all the legal aspects we dealt with: The insurance layer and the underlying subject matter. My day tends to be partnership focused, there’s always something going on in the partnership front. There’s claims to deal with, but otherwise it’s running around responding to the fires as and when they arise, dealing with them as best you can and trying to have the headspace to look more than a week or a month ahead and think strongly about the strategy of the legal function and the wider business. Law firms and some other businesses tend to be far too fixated on the granularity of academics and qualifications. Of course, you need to be qualified, but actually what turns a good lawyer into a really great lawyer is personality and character. People who can roll with the punches, take something on the chin and move on, most importantly for lawyers, people who can accept being wrong. I don’t think lawyers as a profession are very good at admitting when they’re wrong, but in a startup environment, you need to be prepared to make mistakes, it’s part and parcel of learning. One of the biggest challenges in the insurance market with respect to data and the usage of data is transparency and fairness, which everybody wants to ensure, against commerciality and sensitive information. The most obvious example of this is pricing. The balance between using data to improve our products and services, and to drive greater revenue and growth against how much customers want to know about them. With AI, it’s a very difficult area in the context of regulated activities, because you need to have explainability, why someone has been priced in a certain way. It’s going to be very difficult to build a genuinely self-managing, machine learning intuitive system with the necessary explainability and insight that goes with that. BEST MOMENTS ‘I like flying by the seat of my pants. I like a challenge, I like disruption, I’m very passionate about trying to improve things within the sphere of influence that I have in the legal and tech areas.’ ‘Bringing a commercial eye to partnerships is incredibly important as a lawyer in-house.’ ‘To build a sustainable growth venture you need three things: A very clear mission of what you’re trying to solve/address, spend money on getting the best people and focus on one thing/the key offering before moving on to something else.’ ‘The trends I’m seeing is a greater focus on existing portfolio companies and investors looking after their existing stock. Lots of aggressive investment in already trading, sustainable businesses. People are finding it harder in Seed capital, which has been a bigger challenge in the last 18 months.’ ABOUT THE GUEST Nick Pester is responsible for the Legal and Compliance functions at Wheely, a luxury ride hailing service offering on demand professional chauffeuring at the touch of a button.Previously he has been responsible for the Legal & Regulatory functions at the Zego Group, a market-leading InsurTech business focussed on commercial motor where he oversaw a growth period of 80 to 600 employees during which the business achieved unicorn status, completing a $150m Series C fundraise in early 2021.Prior to that, he was Head of the Financial Services & FinTech practices at Capital Law, providing a more niche/specialist offering, grounded in a highly commercial approach.As well, he was Advisor to the Chartered Insurance Institute and the Centre for Data Ethics & Innovation on Digital Ethics and the use of Artificial Intelligence in Insurance and also acted as an advisor and mentor to a number of individual FinTech & InsurTech businesses in the past, as well as wider accelerator/incubator programmes.

Legal & regulatory framework of blockchain & smart contracts Over the last few weeks I’ve often been asked questions regarding legal or regulatory issues regarding smart contracts and blockchain. To help me answer these questions I am priviledged to have had the participation of Nick Pester from Capital Law and Lee Bacon from Clyde&Co for this 5th episode on Insureblocks.   2 minute definition of blockchain Lee – blockchain is a form of distributed ledger, built on encryption, which allows each person or entity to have access to the same information at the same time and allows the transfer of information and possible assets between the participants. Nick tackled this challenge by using an example to illustrate what is blockchain. For example, if you were to share an excel spreadsheet between ten different participants you often will end up with multiple copies of the same spreadsheet which may lead to errors in terms of reconciliation. With blockchain that spreadsheet is automatically updated, reconciled, append only, with each append validated by the participants of the system. This leads to all the parties agreeing to a single source of truth.   Smart contracts – legal standpoint For Nick, smart contracts on a blockchain introduce efficiencies and are less time consuming for all parties in the contractual process. For example, in property purchases, smart contracts introduce a set of agreed parameters between the parties for payment or transfer of value to be made when certain triggers are activated. Lee sees smart contracts as nothing more than automating, by the way of code, either in part or in full the traditional written contract. With the immutability and irreversibility of the blockchain how do we address the issue of a wrong trigger that the parties want to reverse? Live with the fact that you can’t A few clients introduce in smart contracts a pause mechanism that allows the two parties to reflect before something is automated. That seems to defeat some of the purposes of smart contracts and automation Understand that smart contracts are an automation mechanism and if something goes wrong due to bad code for example that you have an agreed mechanism to who is responsible for that and how to make the necessary changes In last week’s episode, Smart Contracts 101, Olivier Rikken spoke also spoke about smart contracts having an auto destruct button when something goes wrong or ultimately having the option of going offline and take this matter to the courts. Nick mentioned a fascinating quote that up to £80 billions of premiums are locked up in contract settlement disputes due to reconciliation issues. Smart contracts on the blockchain can help reduce those disputes through auto pay out of commissions to multiple parties.   Regulatory issues for smart contracts & blockchain FCA (Financial Conduct Authority), the UK’s regulator has adopted a technology neutral position and hasn’t adopted any special kind of rules applying to DLT (distributed ledger technology) technology whether for a public or private ledger. They are focused on the consequences on the usage of this technology to consumers and participants in the market. According to Nick, if you look at the FCA’s papers on DLT they are very clear in their view that the technology itself offers some real benefits to the consumers in terms of transparency and visibility. In Nick’s opinion the FCA has a very proactive standpoint with its sandbox and direct access schemes.   GDPR and its implications to blockchain’s immutability As GDPR gives consumers the right to have their personal data removed, how does that work if one's personal data sits on an immutable blockchain? There are two approaches to this: Removal of access rights through the removal of the private key is tantamount to erasure. There is a view that regulators will be fairly practical about this as it is impossible to remove data from the blockchain and...
