Structures in Distress: An Offshore Perspective Webinar Series

The current and worsening economic downturn is predicted to be unprecedented. Whilst the scale of the financial aftermath of the Covid-19 pandemic is yet to be seen and that prediction might well be correct, lessons can always be learned from what has gone before. The Global Financial Crisis of 2008 presented its own unique and similarly unprecedented challenges at the time and whilst memories can fade, many of the difficult and complex issues that had to be wrestled with then will be seen in the coming months and years.

As the leading offshore insolvency and dispute resolution practice, many of Walkers' lawyers across the globe were advising clients and onshore counsel on the front line in 2008; they are therefore uniquely well placed now to share that experience and to provide insights in to the trends that are emerging as markets and structures feel the aftermath of the past months of lockdown.

Walkers is pleased to invite you to a series of short webinars entitled: Structures in Distress: An Offshore Perspective. Each session will provide you with our insight into the key topics and trends that we are seeing develop in our practices, specifically on a cross jurisdictional basis, and will feature speakers presenting on relevant aspects of Cayman, BVI, Guernsey and Jersey law.

Event Dates
This series will be run fortnightly from Wednesday 09 September at 9:00am (BST). The sessions will run for approximately 30-45 minutes each.

Expert Witnesses - How To Be (or Spot) One

Walkers is very pleased to invite you to hear highly respected Guernsey Royal Court Judge, Lieutenant Bailiff Hazel Marshall QC talk about 'Expert Witnesses - how to be (or spot) one'.

In her informative and entertaining presentation Lieutenant Bailiff Hazel Marshall QC will examine the function and extent of admissible expert evidence. From a highly experienced Trial Judge, find out what will impress the Court, or alternatively what will lose its confidence.

eutenant Bailiff Hazel Marshall QC had a long and distinguished career at the English Bar first as a QC and later a member of the Judiciary with particular specialisms in Chancery and property matters and latterly the Court of Protection. In 2013 she moved to Guernsey and was appointed a judge of the Royal Court, dealing primarily with international trust and commercial disputes. In September 2017, after Guernsey's longest ever civil Trial (and that year's longest Commonwealth Trial) she delivered her celebrated 500 page judgment in Carlyle Capital Corporation v Conway & others. The case dealt with a dispute worth in excess of $2 billion and is now a leading case in relation to Directors' duties. The judgment was fully upheld by the Guernsey's Court of Appeal in April 2019.
