About the Event

39 Essex Chambers will draw together experts from across chambers who have led independent investigations in charities, education settings, companies and statutory bodies to discuss how independent investigations really work. Eleanor Grey KC, Fenella Morris KC, Anna Bicarregui and Ian Brownhill will share their collective experience as to:

• Who investigates? Discussing primacy, the interrelationship with other investigative processes and avoiding the contamination of evidence.
• Avoiding the potential pitfalls as to investigations; building the right team and the systems to make the process work.
• How to minimise the risk of civil claims arising from investigative processes.
