Parent Companies and Subsidiaries: the evolving boundaries of parent company liability
Parent Companies and Subsidiaries: the evolving boundaries of parent company liability
Nicholas Medcroft KC and Leonora Sagan, Fountain Court Chambers KC
Recent years have seen a growing number of claims brought against parent companies for harm caused by the activities of their overseas subsidiaries, reflecting an increasing focus on questions of responsibility and control within multinational corporations. At the same time, developments in the criminal law, and in particular the expansion of "failure to prevent" offences, point in the same direction, reinforcing the importance of group-level compliance and risk management within corporate groups. The speakers will examine the evolving legal landscape governing parent company liability, the increasing use of the English courts as a forum for determining such claims, and the broader trend towards closer scrutiny of how multinationals are structured, governed and managed.
