Description
Let’s face it, corporations control nearly every aspect of the investigation process, from the selection of outside counsel to the decision whether to pay employees’ legal fees. In this context, how can an individual be assured fair treatment and avoid being used as a scapegoat by the corporation? This session will explore this paradigm, at times contentious, and allow experts to share their views and feedback on how to adequately defend individuals investigated and prosecuted in transnational cases.
