Navigating Parent Company Liability & Supply Chain Disputes

Introduction

This webinar will give you a deeper understanding of the principles of parent company liability and the emerging area of supply chain disputes. These developments are increasingly relevant due to globalised supply chains coupled with a demand from both consumers and shareholders for accountability and transparency.

The law has developed post Brexit as the UK no longer has the benefit of the Brussels Recast Regulation which means that the doctrine of forum non conveniens has reemerged in transnational disputes.

Learn from the lawyers who are bringing cases at the forefront of these issues and how these cases are commonly pleaded.
