Post Credit Crunch Litigation - (Feb 09)

Tactical and practical advice on untangling the complex new web of claims

Introduction

In the twelve months since last year’s Credit Crunch Litigation conference, the banking world has changed beyond recognition. Although, in this country at least, there has not been the predicted tsumani of bank on bank litigation, the collapse of Lehman Brothers “the largest insolvency in the history of capitalism” raises the spectre of more mega-litigation.

Once again, Butterworths is delighted to have assembled such an eminent panel of speakers with direct experience at the coalface of recent litigation. Chaired by Timothy Dutton QC and featuring a keynote address by Lord Falconer QC, the panel will guide you through the complexities of such litigation and offer tactical advice on the conduct of these type of claims.
