Panel discussion: What keeps you up at night? Minimising the impact of disputes and investigations on the success of your business
Sponsored by: Hogan Lovells Lee & Lee
More than ever before, multinational corporates are facing complex, expensive and time-consuming disputes and investigations across the globe. These
are often bet the company problems and can absorb very significant time and resources. With both onshore and offshore regulators taking a special
interest and an aggressive stance on their ability to intervene in the activities of multinational corporates in emerging markets, the success of multinational
corporates will be based, at least in part, on their ability to appropriately respond to these challenges. From managing local court disputes and international
arbitration claims to complex, multi-jurisdictional disputes and regulatory investigationsand the media, political and reputational threats that followthe
cost of doing business in these markets has never been higher. Please join us for a discussion with senior practitioners on strategies to manage these risks on a
daily basisand how they still manage to sleep at night.
