Pre-packs are a popular restructuring tool with a growing number of jurisdictions having introduced pre-packaged insolvency proceedings during the last years.

It is now firmly established in some jurisdictions that assets held in a discretionary trust are at risk of being treated by the court as a potential financial resource in divorce proceedings if either or both of the parties are beneficiaries of the trust. The vulnerabilities of trusts on divorce are sometimes misunderstood. This session will look at those vulnerabilities, and we will deal with a common misconception that trusts are only relevant to common law jurisdictions. On this issue we will look at situations where common law trusts have civil law jurisdiction foundations appointed as trustees, where criminal offences can be committed by the trustees if trust disclosure is provided, causing in turn major conflict ramifications for settlors and/or beneficiaries going through divorce in the more generous common law jurisdictions in the world (generous for the financially weaker party, that is). We will also look at the most effective way to handle litigation when trusts are being attacked in the divorce courts - including whether trustees should submit to the jurisdiction of the divorce court. What happens if the trustee is joined into the divorce proceedings?

We will look at PNAs from an international perspective and particularly why responsible trust structuring in tandem with PNA structuring may be the best approach to adopt. When should you enter into a PNA? What are the pitfalls? What do you have to watch out for? Do they work? We will be reviewing some key international PNA cases of significance. We will be looking at how PNAs can sometimes help relationships. Conversely we will deal with circumstances when they should be avoided: a ‘shot gun’ PNA for instance, or negotiation of a PNA where one party is clandestinely sabotaging its effectiveness, because often millions or billions are at stake. We will be looking at the situation where there is fraud, misrepresentation or undue pressure, and what evidence is relevant: PNA ‘amnesia’ is not an infrequent occurrence, where, after the divorce petition has been filed, the financially weaker party asserts that he/she can remember very little about any legal advice they received, and the circumstances surrounding, and the events leading up to, the signing of the PNA. Sometimes, the amnesia is genuine, sometimes not. Does it matter? In the family court, the judge may want to know every piece of that evidence. 

Age-old tactics of deception, propaganda, false flag operations and social manipulation enjoy a new medium.

As robots transition from controlled industrial settings into public spaces and private homes, their deployment raises significant legal and regulatory considerations. Service, caregiving, and security robots increasingly rely on continuous environmental sensing, producing vast amounts of personal and biometric data, which triggers complex questions under privacy, data protection and surveillance laws. At the same time, autonomous decision-making in safety-critical contexts – such as factory patrols or disaster response – touches on liability allocation, product safety standards and the boundaries of human oversight. These developments also intersect with labour law and workforce policy, as automation begins to reshape job functions and employment structures.

This session will explore the evolving legal frameworks needed to govern human–robot coexistence in a manner that is safe, rights-respecting and socially beneficial. Panellists will discuss emerging regulatory models across jurisdictions, including data governance rules, certification and safety assurance regimes, accountability frameworks for autonomous decision systems and policy tools to support fair workforce transitions. The conversation will consider how legislators, regulators, industry and civil society can collaborate to ensure that robotic technologies enhance human dignity, public trust and equitable societal outcomes. 

Trade unions have played a defining role in Polish history, but globally many are facing declining membership and struggling to adapt to rapid changes in the labour market. While some jurisdictions maintain strong union traditions, others see unions losing influence despite increasingly sophisticated statutory protections.

This session explores why these differences exist and what drives the overall drop in union membership. Are unions adapting quickly enough to challenges such as AI, hybrid work reducing physical presence and organisational opportunities, shifting workforce identities, diversity considerations and the expectations of younger generations? How does the tension between collective agreements and the growing focus on individualised solutions impact their relevance?

We will examine how multinational employers can navigate diverse systems of industrial relations across borders, and whether the traditional union role remains crucial – or how it must evolve – to stay relevant in a fragmented and digitally transforming world. Furthermore, the session questions whether the traditional union role is still crucial and explores unions’ future significance.
 

This panel will explore how AI and digital assets are reshaping the global tax landscape. We will examine developments ranging from AI in audits, predictive analytics, taxpayer rights, and emerging debates on whether AI agents themselves should be taxed, to the rise of R&D and infrastructure incentives for AI, including large-scale datacentres. The discussion will also cover evolving rules for digital content, and crypto investment structures, highlighting both the opportunities and policy challenges of taxing innovation in an increasingly digital economy.

This panel on whistleblowing will provide an update on the latest developments in this critical area. Panellists will discuss advances in the implementation of the EU Whistleblowing Directive and their impact on organisations.  

The panel will also examine new legal and policy developments related to the protection of whistleblowers and the use of digital tools to report misconduct, the intersection of whistleblowing and data privacy, and whistleblowing as a tool for ensuring compliance across the supply chain.

Understanding and managing the questions raised and the complexities of litigation in the age of social media is therefore crucial. When and how can social media be used as a source of evidence?

In the digital age, concerns around traditional pricing cartels are being reshaped by the rise of algorithmic pricing and automated information exchange.
