Complex disputes in the public eye I: Balancing risks and demands across civil, criminal and regulatory spheres - with QEB Hollis Whiteman Chambers

Our expert panel will look at the intersection of civil, criminal, and regulatory jurisdictions in commercial disputes, focusing on balancing competing interests whilst building strategic advantage. We will consider some of the many complex issues that can arise in these kind of scenarios, including recent revisions to the ways in which corporates can be criminally liable for the conduct of their employees and associates and questions of jurisdiction, priority and funding.

We’ll also explore some practical guidance on early engagement with criminal and regulatory authorities, and on balancing the competing interests of multiple opponents in large-scale litigation, the complex overlay of civil actions from multiple sources, and building a strong strategic plan for clients caught in the cross-fire.
