Webinar Series (May 2020 to March 2021): The Baker McKenzie Investigations Series – Your Online Meeting Point

By 4 Mins Read

Investigation work is peppered with legal and practical issues for which often there is not one right answer. The circle of professionals in charge of investigation work has been growing over the years and so has the need to connect to ensure we have all relevant issues on the radar and we leverage our collective experience to achieve best results. In an area of many uncertainties, we can not accomplished that in isolation. This is why we launch our investigation series as a regular Online Meeting Point where we frame one or two practical issues or developments we see during 15-20′ and then open up for questions and discussion. Whenever possible and appropriate we provide succinct take-aways that help navigate these issues, if and when they come up in our business. The series is designed for all legal, compliance and other professionals as well as interested business leaders who want to invest 30′ every other week in their ability to identify issues across the investigations lifecycle and have some practical guidance handy.

Speakers include partners and associates from our Swiss offices but also other offices worldwide, depending on the topic.

While we initiate and moderate the series, our vision is for the Meeting Point to be a platform for you. We encourage you to email us the topics you would like us to introduce and moderate. Please email to any of the presenters or seminars@bakermckenzie.com. We encourage you to ask questions via the chat function during any Meeting Point or to raise your issue during the discussion. We encourage you to follow-up bilaterally with us following any Meeting Point.

Helping clients and their businesses navigate challenging situations is our passion and we gladly engage with you in relation to any issue or concern you may have.
