Commenting on the event Kenan Furlong, a partner in ALG's Disputes and Investigations Group, said: “We were delighted to bring together such an impressive selection of key-topic experts and leading industry professionals for our 2022 Corporate Crime and Regulation Summit. Now in its fourth year, we are proud that the event has become such an important date in the diary for Ireland’s corporate counsel and risk and compliance professionals. It's important that we have a forum for people in the industry to share knowledge and best practice to help support the business sector in a rapidly changing environment.”
