Webinar: The Anatomy of a Criminal Pensions Investigation

You are invited to join Outer Temple Chambers to discuss a business crime lawyer’s perspective on the Pension Schemes Act 2021.

Outer Temple Chambers is delighted to host a talk focusing on criminal proceedings arising out of the Pension Schemes Act 2021. Our specialist pensions barristers will join our renowned business crime barristers to examine how and when a regulatory matter may become a criminal matter and, if it looks like it might do so, how to respond, prepare and advise your clients. After short presentations by our panel, there will be the opportunity to ask questions.
