Oliver Powell KC speaking at IEL’s Cross-Practice Working Masterclass

Oliver Powell KC will be joining an array of expert speakers at International Employment Lawyer’s Cross-Practice Working Masterclass on Wednesday 19th November 2025.

Employment law rarely exists in a vacuum, and today’s workplace disputes often spill into other areas of legal practice. From data protection breaches and criminal investigations to competition law concerns and contractual issues, modern employment disputes are increasingly multi-dimensional. This half-day conference will explore how these intersections shape litigation and advisory work, and will equip in-house counsel and HR leaders with insights on how to navigate the complexities that arise when employment law crosses into broader legal territory. 

Oliver Powell KC will be speaking alongside Jane Niven of Bechtel, Susannah Kintish of Mishcon De Reya and Vanessa Hogan of Cisco. The panellists will discuss ‘How to navigate cross-border criminal investigations.’ This will be the first panel session of the day from 9:00am to 10:00am. The session will be moderated by Nicole Simonian of Crowell & Moring.

This session brings together leading practitioners in employment, white-collar crime, and compliance to explore how employers should respond to domestic and cross-border criminal probes. Panellists will discuss how to protect the business while safeguarding employee rights, manage privilege and confidentiality, and build robust internal frameworks to navigate crises.
