On-demand webinar: Head Office Liability

The globalisation of trade has encouraged the creation of carefully planned corporate structures which are designed to achieve the most favourable demarcation of finance, management and liability. In recent years, however, there has been an upsurge in claims seeking to bypass corporate structures and hold parent companies directly accountable for the actions of their subsidiaries overseas.

In our webinar, we cover the potential liability issues including:

• Why head office claims are attractive to claimants and the types of claims being brought;
• The rules which govern such claims in both England and Wales and Canada;
• The impact these claims have on the traditional concept of corporate legal personality and the 'corporate veil';
• Whether we are seeing a shift in the rules on jurisdiction and appropriate forum;
• The role of litigation funders; and
• The key considerations for insurers.

This webinar will be of interest to underwriters, claims professionals and in-house counsel in all liability lines.
