When Laws Collide: Managing Multi Jurisdictional Fraud, Compliance, and Cooperation

4 Jun 11:30 - 13:00

Fraud & Asset Recovery

Litigating fraud across borders increasingly means juggling conflicting legal duties: the law of the jurisdiction where proceedings unfold versus the obligations imposed by the country in which a company or individual operates. This panel explores the growing tension inherent in cross border fraud disputes - where compliance, strategy, and risk collide. The panellists will examine practical measures to manage these conflicts, including navigating inconsistent disclosure obligations, responding to contradictory court orders, and addressing friction around extradition and the use of INTERPOL, asset recovery, and enforcement. The speakers will consider whether global cooperation is truly improving through treaties and enhanced information sharing or whether geopolitical shifts are driving jurisdictions to retreat, prioritising sovereignty over comity. They’ll shed light on the realities of multi jurisdictional fraud litigation in high tension environments.
