Internationalisation of Directors' Duties

RSVP ESSENTIAL  Please email rsvp@vicbar.com.au    COST  Barristers - $35; Solicitors – no cost
Directors of companies that trade overseas, and those of subsidiaries of overseas companies, may have duties imposed upon them by foreign law and be subject to the jurisdiction of foreign courts, especially where entities or their holding companies are approaching insolvency.  Legal advisers have to be aware of the potential for that to occur. This presentation discusses the potential liability and provides examples of it.  It also looks at and discusses the need to develop an understanding of how different legal systems impose duties on directors.  This seminar is open to barristers, solicitors, in-house counsel and insolvency practitioners. The seminar is followed by drinks in the Essoign.
