Accusations of fraud can dominate headlines and ruin the reputation of the accused, especially if they turn out to be innocent. Join Kobre & Kim’s John Han as he speaks on an Asset Recovery Asia virtual panel about how defendants can deal with the press and reclaim control of the public narrative on October 12, 3pm Singapore time.
During the panel, “Hot off the press, or hot on the internet,” Han will be joined by Wendy Lin of Wong Partnership, Lee Shih of Lim Chee Wee Partnership, Harris Chan of DLA Piper and Thomas O’Brien of Browne George Ross LLP. They will discuss the effects negative press can have on defendants and how this might affect asset recovery cases, before turning to how best to minimize and refute public allegations. Han in particular will examine defamation laws and immunity in jurisdictions across the Asia-Pacific region, looking at how defendants can use those tools to protect themselves.
