Paper Trails and Red Flags: The Challenges of Meeting Your Evidential Burden

Paper Trails and Red Flags: The Challenges of Meeting Your Evidential Burden

REF: EP141

Please join us for a panel discussion on the challenges of overcoming evidential hurdles in international arbitration.
Winning or losing a case can so often hinge on evidence. Building a persuasive narrative and robust case theory will always be an uphill battle where evidence is missing, incomplete, or in the possession of the other party. This can be particularly challenging in the context of bribery and corruption, fraud, and company mismanagement.

Our experts will discuss the ways in which evidentiary hurdles can be overcome while also mitigating the risks of evidence being discarded by a tribunal or deemed inadmissible.

This panel event is an interactive real-world scenario-based session during which the panellists (including senior Covington lawyers and members of FRA’s forensic accounting team) will share experiences from matters which involved a novel evidentiary issue. Each scenario will be outlined in turn for the audience, identifying the key issues and the dilemma that needed to be addressed, with audience members encouraged to offer their own perspectives.

The discussion will be followed by networking drinks. We look forward to seeing you there
