After a three year absence we are finally back in Asia in person – and our introductory panel will discuss trends over the last few years, and scan what is on the horizons for asset recovery lawyers. Will we be seeing more litigation or insolvency? Will funding play a major role? What sectors will be driving asset recovery litigation and why? Will crypto be the future of asset recovery, or is it a trend that will pass?

Crypto currencies have been in the press all year for all the wrong reasons, most spectacularly with the collapse of FTX. Our panel takes a deeper look at the technical legal issues involved. What protections, if any, do investors have if their exchange becomes insolvent? What prospects do liquidators in such cases have of recovering assets for creditors. And is it really possible to trace through crypto on a practical level, or do jurisdictional hurdles ultimately mean claimants will fail?

Most fraud and asset recovery lawyers know what to do in the critical first 72 hours after a fraud or theft is discovered. But what if the theft is of data, not money? Our panel focuses on the developing, but critical area of cyber response: what should lawyers be doing in the first critical days when a client has been subject to a cyber attack or data theft?
