New for 2026 we are launching Legal Spotlight, a focused series designed to raise awareness of the latest legal developments and emerging trends across key legal areas that affect organisations today.
Legal Spotlight has been designed specially for in-house counsel and business leaders who play a central role in shaping and advising executive decision-making.
Joining us for this session will be Michelle Sloane and Tom Jenkins, leading lawyers from RPC, sharing professional insights and expertise as we explore impactful and relevant topics.
Dawn raids by regulatory authorities can be highly disruptive and, if mishandled, may result in serious repercussions for your business. This webinar will equip you with the essential knowledge to understand what dawn raids involve, why they occur, and how to prepare effectively in advance.
This session will provide practical guidance on responding confidently to officials, managing interactions during the search, and ensuring their teams act appropriately throughout the process and in its aftermath. You'll learn how to minimise risks, safeguard your organisation’s interests, and strengthen your readiness to handle a regulatory investigation.
