Welcome to the latest edition of Executive Matters, our quarterly publication dedicated to the challenges and legal issues faced by Senior Executives.
We start by considering the evolving landscape of business protection in light of increasing technology and AI adoption. Our Civil Fraud team explains what businesses need to know about the growing prevalence of "deepfake" technologies as a means of perpetrating fraud. Our Cyber Risk & Complex Investigations team discusses the benefits of running "Cyber Incident Exercises" to build organisational resilience. And our Employment team explores the implications of limits on non-compete clauses, after a recent debate in the House of Lords on tech and AI has seemingly put the issue back on the agenda.
To reflect the falling temperatures and nights drawing in, other pieces have a more wintry feel. With rising cold and flu cases, our Insurance team provides a timely reminder that the six-year limitation period for COVID-19 business interruption claims is fast approaching. And finally for those already apprehensive about the Christmas family dinner, the Mishcon Private team offers guidance on managing and resolving family business disputes.
