What this session will cover

Join Slaughter and May and One Essex Court for a panel discussion on the risks UK companies can face from the actions of their overseas subsidiaries, joint ventures, and supply chains.

The English courts have become a leading destination for groups of foreign claimants seeking compensation from UK-based companies for alleged harms suffered abroad. These cases have typically focussed on the activities of UK companies’ foreign subsidiaries or joint ventures, but can also stretch beyond the corporate group to companies’ overseas supply chains.

A panel of experts from Slaughter and May and One Essex Court will explore these issues, including the challenges companies often have to confront when faced with these types of claims.
