Dmitry Kletochkin, partner at Rustam Kurmaev & Partners, is to speak at Criminal and Secondary Liability of Business Management and Owners, a conference arranged by Kommersant Publishing House to be held on November 23, 2018 at the National Hotel conference center.

How can you protect yourself and your company from conflicts which may result in criminal prosecution? What are legislators and regulators doing and planning to do to protect the business community from abuse? How can you protect yourself against adverse developments and what preventive measures must be taken? These are some of the issues which the conference plans to address.

Dmitry Kletochkin will participate in the conference panel during which legal experts will be invited to debate the measures proposed by the Russian Investigative Committee to recover leaked funds and assets, criminal prosecution of business disputes, secondary liability of business owners and management, corporate investigations, direct claims as a source of risk for business owners, criminal liability for tax crimes, and other pressing issues. During the Q&A sessions, the speakers will shed light on matters which are equally important for lawyers and the business community, such as preventive measures that can be taken to protect business from criminal prosecution, ways business associations can help businesses and their management in conflict resolution, corporate compliance, and the prospects for increasing the efficiency of measures taken to combat abuse using automation tools, IT, and internal audit.

Dmitry is set to speak on the topic of criminal prosecution of top managers as a result of bankruptcy. He will review criminal liability of business management and beneficiaries and discuss gaps in criminal law.
