On 20 June 2025, Allison Clare KC of QEB Hollis Whiteman took part in the Fraud Lawyers Association Economic Crime Conference, held at A&O Shearman.

The in-person event brought together senior legal professionals, academics and regulators to discuss current and emerging issues in the field of economic crime.

• Panels on disclosure across criminal, civil, and regulatory contexts
• Discussion of UK and US enforcement trends
