DNA held a live webinar on the topic of “Dawn Raids and Directors’ Duties in Investigations”

Makarim & Taira S. has formed a strategic alliance with two of the most dominant law firms in Southeast Asia, Drew & Napier LLC, Singapore and Shearn Delamore & Co., Malaysia, and joined hands as Drew Network Asia (DNA) – a formidable blue-chip legal network. DNA operates as a one-stop shop handling the most complex and time sensitive multi-jurisdictional transactions and disputes. 
 
This alliance has also allowed its member firms to collaborate in extensive knowledge sharing and constructive discussions in the form of webinars, in which the best minds from the three firms come together to discuss various legal topics from each country’s perspective. Last month, DNA held a live webinar on the topic of “Dawn Raids and Directors’ Duties in Investigations.” Ensuring an effective response to a dawn raid is critical for protecting a company’s interests. Being equipped with the essential know-how and executing it in a timely and decisive manner under considerable pressure could be the difference between a favourable outcome and one with high legal risks. This webinar provided attendees a comprehensive understanding of what to expect during the entire dawn raid process, preparation and response checklists, and the types of investigations dawn raids are associated with. The panelists, Rahayu Ningsih Hoed of Makarim & Taira S., Wendell Wong and Chia Voon Jiet of Drew & Napier, and Sathya Kumardas of Shearn & Delamore Co. also discussed the search powers of investigators as well as what to do during dawn raids.
 
This webinar was attended by the firms’ clients, friends and colleagues from all over the world. We would like to thank everyone for their participation and hope to do this again soon.
