    36: From Silicon Valley to London: How Lawyers Help Startups Scale Globally
    Jan 6 2026

    “We’re running science experiments - some will fail, but the wins make up for everything.”

    That mindset captures the U.S. approach to startups and sets the tone for our next episode, dropping next week.

    In this episode, Anastasia hosts Daniel Glazer, founding partner of the London office of Wilson Sonsini Goodrich & Rosati, the Silicon Valley-headquartered law firm. Mr. Glazer advises UK and European tech and life sciences companies on raising capital in the US, UK, and Europe, and on expanding their businesses across the Atlantic.
    For LSE law students, the conversation breaks down what startup lawyers actually do, how cross-border deals work in practice, and the skills needed to succeed in high-growth environments.

  • 34: The Impacts of Decriminalising Sex Work

    34: The Impacts of Decriminalising Sex Work
    Oct 1 2025
    In this episode, Pascale hosts Eric Neumayer and Madeleine Rees to discuss the possible legalisation of sex work in the UK and the impacts it would have.

    Eric Neumayer is an economist by training, he is the author, co-author or co-editor of numerous articles and publications on economics, sustainability and social issues, including a research paper on whether legalised prostitution increases human trafficking.

    Madeleine Rees is a British human rights lawyer who has brought cases to the European Court of Human Rights and the European Court in Luxembourg. Madeleine served as Head of the Office of the High Commissioner for Human Rights, and was appointed Officer of the Order of the British Empire (OBE) in the 2014 Birthday Honours for services to human rights.

    To explore this topic of decriminalising sex work, first the economic implications are considered and then the legal and social implications that decriminalisation, legalisation and criminalisation have on the industry. Part 1 will focus on the economics and how the market for sex work overlaps with the market for human trafficking, and thus how changing legalisation and demand affects both industries. Part 2 looks at the legal implications of decriminalisation, the social message it sends, the actual consequences of stricter or more relaxed laws, and the ethics behind sex work.
