As we near the end of Dive In Festival 2024, here is a recap of some incredible events from the past couple of days: In Denmark, Partner Heidi Bloch participated in a discussion to highlight how motivating employees is key to retaining and attracting talent. In Ireland, HR Manager Aisling O'Doherty sat with a panel of experts, sharing daily support strategies to help insurance professionals prioritize mental health in the workplace. In Singapore, Partner Tristan Thompson sat on a panel to discuss the importance of building resilient mental wellbeing for a sustainable future. In Hong Kong, Partner Joanie Ko and Of Counsel Vienne Cheung joined AIG to discuss how employees, caring for both children and aging parents, can balance parental responsibilities and career development.

We recently asked our LinkedIn audience about the biggest challenges facing the aviation industry today. These results set the stage for our global aviation teams' first half-day conference, with insights from guest speakers John Korna, Senior System Engineer at NATS, and Jake Hernandez, CEO at AnotherDay. So what did we learn that would have the biggest impact on aviation? • Some sectors, including aviation, used to be unofficially protected from ransomware groups, however, the gloves have come off now which makes the aviation industry’s reliance on interconnected digital systems increasingly vulnerable to cyber incidents. • Geopolitics has risen to the top of boards’ agendas due to the significant changes in the global order. Now multiple powers want their own foreign policy and the overlapping borders of these regions are where flashpoints occur, and this brings aviation security issues. • Concerns in Australia around toxic fumes released from aircraft wreckages could impact recovery actions and lead to future claims. You can view the full poll and its results, here: https://lnkd.in/eVAVziAw #aviation #aviationlaw #geopolitics #cybersecurity

Some fantastic discussions at our global FI and D&O conference in London today - including where the direction of travel is going for class actions in Europe and beyond. #AI and #ESG featured heavily, but so did the more 'traditional' risks including anti-money laundering, bankruptcies and insolvencies. Thank you John Bruce, Andrew McGahey, Maurice Pesso and Alexandra Bartlett for your thoughts on the day.
