Dealing with illegality on your online shop or payment platform

Webinar description

Online shop and payment platform operators sit at the crossroads of innovation, regulation, and risk. When suspicion of illegality arises, the decision to act — or not to act — can expose businesses to significant legal, financial, and reputational consequences. How should operators respond when facing potential misconduct by merchants? And what can they do to better protect themselves before issues arise?

Join Jonathan Crompton, Partner – Disputes, Investigations & Head of Cyber Incident Response (Asia) at RPC, for a focused and practical one hour session examining the “Trolley Problem” dilemma faced by platforms today.
