On 19 September, Bruce Marks, Founder and Managing Director of Marks & Sokolov, will speak at the session “Liability Under Control” during Pravo.RU’s conference on “Subsidiary Liability of Company Executives and Owners.” The conference will explore critical issues such as managing business risks, distinguishing legitimate risk-taking from bad faith, and evaluating the effectiveness of subsidiary liability as a tool for creditor protection. Bruce Marks will present on “Enforcement of subsidiary liability judgments in the USA: problems of proper notice, liability, and calculation of damages.” He will share practical insights on why American courts frequently refuse to recognize foreign subsidiary liability rulings, highlighting challenges in procedural notice, legal standards for personal and corporate liability, and damage calculation in international disputes.
