What's the Webinar About?

There has been a marked surge in UK-based investor actions in the past few years.  From Barclays to G4S, Glencore, Serco, Standard Chartered, and others, shareholders are increasingly using London’s courts to seek to recover monies unavailable elsewhere.

What has made the UK such an attractive jurisdiction, and how does it differ from other jurisdictions?  How do investors choose between competing actions?  How do they ensure they are protected from adverse costs?  How successful have lawsuits been thus far at recovering money or promoting ESG goals?

This webinar discusses UK trends, what you need to know before joining a UK shareholder action, what’s behind the surge of filings and some of the pros and cons of these proceedings.
