The post-Covid economic recovery has seen high levels of M & A activity, with private equity firms eager to deploy funds following a muted 2020. Nichola Leach discussed whether this is likely to lead to an upswing in private equity related disputes and the potential battlegrounds between the interested parties.
With LIBOR ceasing to exist at the end of this year, Jean-Martin Louw will gave an overview of the latest developments in the LIBOR transition process and discuss the consequences for UK agreements that still reference the benchmark.
The English courts are increasingly willing to use the full range of their world-leading information gathering and enforcement tools to assist the victims of crypto fraud. Ryan Lynch discussed the recent case of Fetch ai v Persons Unknown and Others, which involved a sophisticated fraud using unauthorised access to the claimant’s accounts on a cryptocurrency exchange.
The seminar was followed by a Q & A session.
Chaired by Robin Henry, Partner.
Run time: 59 minutes
