Dealing with a global crisis

Description

Since 2008, the number of crises that have engulfed companies has increased dramatically. ‘Dieselgate’, large-scale bribery issues, money laundering or tax evasion allegations, and environmental spills are just some examples. These crises are no longer confined to one or two countries, but can quickly take on a global scale, with investors litigating in multiple jurisdictions and authorities across the globe fighting for a share of the action. This panel discusses first reactions and subsequent approaches if a crisis hits.
