Responding to challenges of securing evidence overseas in a new tech setting

Held jointly with Fair Trials, this panel debate will focus on the proposed Overseas Production Order. Designed to speed up the process of securing access to electronic evidence held outside the UK, the Overseas Production Order represents a radical departure from the current mutual legal assistance regime and could have a dramatic impact on data privacy and cross-border investigations. 

The event will be chaired by Rebecca Niblock and speakers will include:

• Jago Russell - Fair Trials
• Alexandra Grundy - Lead Security Counsel – EMEA, Facebook
• Rachel Scott - Barrister, Three Raymond Buildings
• Debbie Price - Head of International Justice and Deputy Head of the International Justice and Organised Crime Division, Crown Prosecution Service
