This is one of the most serious and potentially damaging areas in which we help clients. Fortunately it’s also one in which there are a growing number of legal options to protect against attempts at damage and harm to reputation.

The topics we’ll cover include:

• Protection against ongoing criminality, including preventing the execution of blackmail and extortion threats, uncovering information about fraud and dealing with harassment.

• Managing false allegations of wrongdoing and the rights of those wrongly accused.

• Handling allegations of illegal conduct by employees, including accusations of assault and harassment.

• Protecting reputation and privacy when cases come to trial in the criminal courts.

• Handling historic accusations and problems.

The session will be of interest to broad groups, from family offices to legal and communications teams.
