Centro de Documentacion de Fundación MAPFRE - Managing risk : a disputes perspective (conference report. December 2021)

Publication: London [etc.] : Herbert Smith Freehills, 2021Physical description: 28 p.Notes: Sumario: This annual conference, held on 7 and 9 December, was chaired by our Managing Partner for Dispute Resolution Damien Byrne Hill and explored some key legal and compliance risks facing major corporates, and how those risks can be mitigated. Sessions looked in particular at risks relating to climate change and Business & Human Rights, three areas of heightened class action risk (data, competition and transnational torts), and issues around dealing with distressed counterparties in light of recent changes to insolvency law following on from the Covid-19 pandemic. Speakers also considered questions of procedure, focusing on how technology can be used to manage risk and créate efficiencies in investigations, and how to manage litigation risks arising from recent reforms to disclosure and witness statements in the Business and Property Courts.Materia / lugar / evento: Gerencia de riesgos Compliance Derechos humanos COVID-19 Pandemias Mitigación de riesgos Otros autores: Herbert Smith Freehills
