Our International White Collar Crime Institute in London closed with a final panel featuring the return of the White Collar Crime Hypothetical. This interactive exercise, based on real-life legal issues reflecting the themes of the conference, drew on the expertise of the audience with the panel leading the discussion. The first case study centered on a fictional company facing a whistleblower situation, and the second followed the internal investigation and what it uncovered. An entertaining and interactive hypothetical to work through with the input and expertise of our panel!

Many thanks to our moderator Richard Sallybanks, and panelists John J. Liolos, Nicholas C. Harbist, Zoe Newman, and Camilla de Silva.

This morning our International White Collar Crime Institute in London welcomed a special guest keynote from Matthew Wagstaff, Director of Legal Services and General Counsel at the Serious Fraud Office.

He outlined how the SFO is positioning itself as an active and responsible force in white collar enforcement, acting as both carrot and stick. That includes proactive intelligence, whistleblower incentives, and surveillance to prevent and prosecute fraud and hold companies to account, alongside close international cooperation with partners to best serve the interests of justice.

The final Plenary Session of Day 1 at our International White Collar Crime Institute examined the intersection of crypto fraud and AI-driven financial crime. Panelists from law enforcement, private practice, and forensic consulting discussed how bad actors use deepfakes, synthetic identities, and decentralized finance platforms, the cross-border enforcement challenges involved, and how investigators can use blockchain analytics and AI-powered surveillance to keep pace.

Many thanks to our moderator Saverio Lembo, and panelists Meredith Fitzpatrick, Adrian Foster, Lukasz Lasek, and George I. Rudoy. Thanks to all of our speakers and attendees for a wonderful and full first day!

Plenary Session III at our International White Collar Crime Institute in London looked at corporate internal investigations in a remote world. International practitioners and in-house counsel examined the rise of desktop investigations conducted without live witness interviews, the growing use of AI-enabled technology assisted review (TAR), what a good remote investigation looks like, and common pitfalls. The panel also considered how to manage the competing demands of boards, regulators, and auditors.

Many thanks for the introduction by Mark Beardsworth, moderator Stéphane de Navacelle, and panelists Christine Braamskamp, Shruti Chandhok, Duncan Grieve, and Mia Wellfare.

This afternoon the International White Collar Crime Institute opened with remarks from Jonathan M. Winer. He traced the history and origins of sanctions, then turned to what is changing in enforcement today, including sanctions, pardons, and the FCPA, and how shifts in policy are filtering down to white collar practice. He closed sharing insight into how individuals can help clients navigate the current administration and political environment.

Plenary Session II at the International White Collar Crime Institute turned to sanctions and export controls enforcement, with US and UK regulators and private practice attorneys. This was a highly anticipated session! The details are off the record, but it was a valuable discussion on a fast-moving area.

The first plenary session at the International White Collar Crime Institute asked a timely question: when does enforcement become foreign policy? Prosecutors, defense lawyers, and investigations specialists from the US, UK, and Europe examined how geopolitics is shaping cross-border cooperation, extradition, and parallel proceedings, and what that means for advising clients when enforcement and politics overlap.

Many thanks to our moderator Rebecca Niblock and panelists Alex Chalk KC, Eun Young Choi, Puneet Kakkar, and Clara Poglia.
