Whenever a fraud is discovered, key decisions have to be made quickly: where to base the investigation, whether to notify regulators or authorities, how to deal with press and/or stakeholders – and these are just the starting point. Alongside this, victims of fraud and their lawyers also needs to decide whether to launch a claim, where to do so, and what ancillary relief to seek (and where). All these things are urgent. Our panellists share their views on best practice for the critical period between discovering a fraud and launching proceedings. They will cover what should be prioritised, how to optimise work between lawyers in different jurisdictions, and how clients, lawyers and other professionals can help each other ensure success at the critical first hearings.
Our distinguished panel of Judges and former Judges discusses their views of asset recovery – from the judicial perspective on parallel civil or criminal proceedings, to how commercial courts assess witness and documentary evidence in.
In a departure from our usual panel discussion format, this panel will focus on key updates on the key injunctions: freezing orders, Norwich pharmacal orders and search orders. Each speaker will have exactly 8 minutes to update the conference on what they consider to be the most important update on injunctions in their jurisdiction – all the key global updates on injunctions in one fast paced panel.
