  • ?Mckenna Long?????Dentons??????
    ?McKenna Long?????Dentons?????? Consolidation at the top of the global legal industry is showing no signs of stopping with the confirmation that Dentons, fresh off its last big international tie-up, wants to again walk down the aisle — this time with U.S.-bound McKenna Long & Aldridge LLP. Denton's potential addition of the Atlanta-based, 575-lawyer McKenna Long would add a significant new branch to Dentons' growing international structure, which now includes about 2,500 lawyers in 50 countries. If completed, the merger would bring Dentons to a top-three spot in the industry by size, with about 3,100 lawyers. In McKenna Long, Dentons would acquire a well-regarded but somewhat undifferentiated general services firm with solid roots in government contracts, established offices in a handful of major U.S. markets, a network of Washington contacts and no significant international profile. Among its more notable offerings is the firm's intellectual property and technology practice led by D.C.- and Seoul-based partner Song Jung, which has done considerable work for Korean tech giant LG Corp., among others. The addition of McKenna Long "adds to [Dentons'] capacities in D.C. and Los Angeles and San Francisco,” said firm management consultant Eric Seeger, a principal at legal consultant firm Altman Weil Inc. "They already had Chicago, and it gives them a large Atlanta office." For the McKenna Long partners now considering the deal, joining Dentons would immediately vault them from an increasingly squeezed U.S. middle tier into a global network with a slew of multinational clients, but one that is likely still experiencing growing pains from repeated cross-border mergers, experts say.

The workshop on the questioning of expert witnesses will take place over the first three days in July at Beaumont House. Twenty-four participants will get the chance to cross-examine experts from FTI Consulting and Ernst & Young - and will receive feedback on live and video-recorded performances. The sessions will be run by experienced arbitration specialists, who will also give demonstrations and lectures.

  • Unexplained Wealth – Whose Business? the 36Thcambridge International Symposium on Economic Crime Unexplained Wealth - Whose Business?
    THIRTY-SIXTH INTERNATIONAL SYMPOSIUM ON ECONOMIC CRIME SUNDAY 2nd SEPTEMBER - SUNDAY 9th SEPTEMBER 2018 JESUS COLLEGE, UNIVERSITY OF CAMBRIDGE Unexplained wealth – whose business? The 36thCambridge International Symposium on Economic Crime Unexplained Wealth - whose business? The Thirty-Sixth International Symposium on Economic Crime is the most extensive and ambitious programme that we have so far attempted to put together. The overarching theme is how we can better identify and render accountable unexplained and suspicious wealth. As we increasingly realise that the way in which most of us approach suspect wealth and money laundering lacks efficiency and imposes arguably disproportionate burdens and risks on the financial and business system, it appears a partial answer might be in focusing on the identification of unexplained wealth, but then what do we do? These important and timely issues are pursued in a practical, applied and relevant manner, by those with the benefit of experience from across the world. The symposium, although held in one of the world’s leading universities and recognising the significance of intelligent deliberation, is not a talking shop for those with vested interests – official or commercial. We strive to offer a rich and deep analysis of the real issues and, in particular, threats to our institutions and economies presented by economically motivated crime and misconduct. Therefore, well over 600 experts from around the world will share their experience and knowledge with other participants drawn from policy makers, law enforcement, compliance, regulation, business and the professions. The programme is drawn up with the support of a number of agencies and organisations, and the Organising Institutions and principal sponsors greatly value this global commitment.
