About 3G Times

Financial rules are written in prose and enforced in code, and 3G Times reports on the gap between the two. The audience is people carrying an obligation: compliance officers reading a consultation paper, fintech engineers who have to encode a threshold, in-house counsel deciding whether a vendor claim survives contact with a supervisor. Coverage spans supervisory technology, licensing regimes, sanctions screening, and the contract terms that follow when a rule changes.

The format is analysis and explainer. A piece starts with the mechanism — what the statute requires, which article, which deadline — before it argues about consequence. Vendor marketing gets tested against documentation and, where possible, against people running the software in production. Rewritten press releases, funding notices dressed as insight, and predictions about regulation nobody has proposed stay out. Where a rule is ambiguous, the piece names the ambiguity.

Sections divide the work. Legaltech examines the tools themselves, from contract analysis to matter management. Regulation follows rulemaking across jurisdictions. Compliance stays with the operating burden: controls, evidence, audit trails. Digital covers identity, data residency and the technical plumbing supervisors now inspect. Legaltech News carries the daily record of products, mandates and enforcement, while Business News tracks the money and market structure behind both industries.
