In the sixth and final podcast episode of our Emerging Risks 2024 series, we delve into the complexities of head office liability, a growing issue in various jurisdictions over the past 10 to 15 years.
Partner Neil Beresford is joined by:
- Ellen Snow, Partner, Toronto
- Harry Little, Associate, London
Building on the webinar discussion, this episode explores head office liability and the increase in highly complex extra-territorial environmental and human rights litigation being brought against listed parent companies in their home jurisdiction. We examine key legal developments in the UK and Canada, the evolving role of litigation funding, and how companies can protect themselves against head office or extraterritorial claims.
