Description

Cross-border trust disputes are on the rise, and differing disclosure standards can transform the trajectory of litigation. This session contrasts how civil-law and common-law courts approach disclosure obligations, the assessment of trustee conduct, and the interpretation of “discretion.” Using recent case experience, speakers will consider why outcomes can diverge sharply depending on governing law, forum selection, and local professional practices—and how advisors can navigate these competing frameworks.
