When serious criminal allegations are made against a company (such as fraud, bribery or money laundering), the board of directors is thrust into one of the most demanding situations it will face.

The board’s response must balance legal obligations, governance best practice, stakeholder expectations, and reputational risk — all under intense time pressure. The directors who navigate this challenge most effectively are those who understand their duties and establish robust oversight from the outset.

Gherson thoroughly enjoyed participating in the Criminal Law Section Mock Trial at the International Bar Association (IBA) Annual Conference 2026 in Copenhagen.

Caroline Black played Karen Holm, a public official accused of corruption (and blinded by love), in the case study “Corruption Strikes Back”.

The session brought to life allegations of bribery, public procurement and corporate criminal liability, providing insights into the financial crime trial process and Danish law and procedure.

It was a pleasure to join such an exceptional international team. Thank you to all the participants and session chairs for bringing together such a fantastic group and making the session so enjoyable.

Gherson was also represented at the conference by Alfred Gherson, Michael Ventom, Charlie Burnett and Caroline Black.
