The event will examine how practitioners can respond when counterparties employ tactics designed to frustrate enforcement or obscure their asset position. Drawing on legal, procedural, and investigative perspectives, the discussion will address evasive behaviour ranging from asset dissipation and complex ownership structures to misrepresentation and deliberate opacity. Speakers will share insights on identifying warning signs, applying procedural tools, and pursuing cross-border enforcement in the face of strategic obstruction.
Key themes will include:
- Indicators of asset dissipation or restructuring during arbitral proceedings
- Complex ownership arrangements, including nominee structures and layered entities
- Misrepresentation of ownership, control, or financial standing
- Tribunal approaches to concealment, dishonesty, and obstructive conduct
- Evidentiary inferences and procedural tools to address opacity
- Cross-border enforcement strategies in cases involving evasive counterparties.
