Description

Commerce and criminal activity continue to intersect as global trade routes and supply chains continue to proliferate. From seafood harvested through slave labour making its way to supermarket shelves and counterfeit goods manufactured in China and sold on city street corners, to legitimate traders being used to launder money through trade-based money laundering schemes, international criminal syndicates and cartels are insinuating themselves into global commerce. Corporate actors who can control their supply chain and brand are positioned to be powerful partners in the fight against organised crime and its profiting from legitimate commercial enterprises. This panel will present a variety of experts from across the legal spectrum to discuss how companies and their counsel can guard, and actively fight, against the invasion of organised criminal enterprises into commerce.
