SUMMARY:Breakout session two - Lightning bolt cooperation: when cooperati
 on between criminal lawyers is faster and more efficient than mutual leg
 al assistance 
DESCRIPTION:Mutual legal assistance\, where admitted\, takes months if no
 t years to be fully\, partially or finally not enforced at all. Letters 
 rogatory can be poorly drafted and not reflect the issues at stake. Crim
 inal proceedings are covered by secrecy and the requested elements might
  only be accessed once the battle is over. In the meantime\, frauds are 
 perpetrated at light speed\, money flows from one bank to dozens of othe
 rs and goods are diverted to non-cooperative jurisdictions while individ
 uals and corporations may be investigated for the same facts in several 
 places. With experts from all continents\, the panel will discuss the ev
 er-expanding role of criminal lawyers in defending or assisting clients 
 over the world\, exchanging information about foreign proceedings in a t
 imely manner\, speeding up judicial assistance\, initiating local procee
 dings and seizing stolen assets faster than the enforcement authorities.
