Join us for a joint seminar of the Litigation and Commercial Fraud Commissions in the picturesque Dutch Caribbean island of Curaçao, where we will delve deep into the challenges in global asset recovery and the enforcement of judgments abroad.
The event will take place from Thursday 11 until Saturday 13 April 2024. In the two-day joint seminar, we will explore current subjects such as the protection and recovery of assets in foreign jurisdictions, available forms of interim relief, and the impact of international sanctions.
The joint seminar will focus on the complexities and unique challenges associated with asset recovery and the enforcement of judgments in foreign jurisdictions, including recent developments in these areas. The academic programme will give helpful insights into navigating the legal intricacies of various foreign/offshore jurisdictions, discussing critical topics such as jurisdictional hurdles, legal frameworks, and cross-border cooperation. This will give you the chance to gain a comprehensive understanding of the opportunities and pitfalls in global asset recovery, empowering you to effectively tackle complex international cases. We will also be exploring the available forms of interim relief, including disclosure orders and seizure/attachment of assets (under common and civil law systems), and the implications of international sanctions and related sanctions litigation.. Our speakers will dissect the evolving landscape of judgment enforcement, offering strategic guidance on seizing assets, freezing orders, and other essential legal tools. You will gain invaluable knowledge on overcoming jurisdictional challenges, and an understanding of the latest international sanctions regimes, maximising your chances of successful enforcement.
Curaçao is the perfect place for an enchanting social programme, which will include a dinner and party on the beach and an optional trip by catamaran along the west coast of the island, stopping at Cas Abou Beach, named by National Geographic as one of the 21 best beaches in the world.
You will have the opportunity to discover Curaçao, a stunning tropical paradise in the Caribbean, famous for its azure waters, pristine beaches, and vibrant culture. Indulge in the island's renowned hospitality, savour local delicacies, and explore the vibrant streets of Willemstad, a UNESCO World Heritage Site boasting colourful colonial architecture. As you bask in the island's natural beauty, prepare to immerse yourself in an intellectually stimulating environment that promises to enhance your expertise and broaden your perspectives.
This seminar is a must-go for all lawyers with an international litigation practice and other lawyers dealing with asset protection and sanctions.
