Description

Corporate wrongdoing has been a particular concern across the globe in recent years. This has led to evolving regulations which deal particularly with economic crimes, creating in certain jurisdictions an increasingly more severe enforcement regime for this kind of wrongdoing.

In this panel, we will review recent developments to economic crime laws and corporate criminal liability across different jurisdictions, in particular examining trends towards creating specific corporate offences or treating these offences more severely than the general laws applicable to criminal conduct.

Turning to practice, we will also review global trends in connection with new legislation and enforcement of corporate criminal liability and the different issues that it raises.
