Anyone who has a disputes practice that involved offshore work! This includes private practice lawyers, from onshore jurisdictions (US, UK, Asia, LATAM, Europe), offshore practitioners (from Cayman Islands, Bermuda, BVI, Channel Islands), as well as barristers, litigation funders, professional trustee firms, mediators, arbitrators, and regulators.

You will join a table of 10 other practitioners, to discuss the topic of choice. There will be a lead facilitator to kick things off. We encourage delegates to share their thoughts and experience in a smaller group setting.

Yes, please feel free to build your own agenda, and change rooms between the sessions.

Fraud, Insolvency, Recovery, Enforcement, encompassing Asset Recovery.
