5 February 2026 – ACC Europe and Squire Patton Boggs: Mock Boardroom Crisis – Sexual Misconduct Allegations Against a Senior Executive, Manchester

Register to attend

Times

2 – 5 p.m. GMT

Location

Squire Patton Boggs, No1 Spinningfields, 1 Hardman Square, Manchester, M3 3EB

In this partnership between the Association of Corporate Counsel Europe and Squire Patton Boggs, we are excited to bring you this dynamic event in Manchester on 5 February 2026. Step into the boardroom and experience a high-intensity crisis simulation, where allegations of harassment and sexual misconduct against a senior business leader unfold in real time. As the scenario develops, you will grapple with complex legal and reputational dilemmas – placing you at the forefront of board-level decision-making when it matters most. How the board handles such allegations is critical.

A poorly managed response can trigger legal or regulatory action against the company and cause lasting reputational damage, especially if the matter becomes public. Guided by our panel of experts, you will have the opportunity to explore the key risks facing the company in a complex and evolving scenario. Working with other participants, you will identify the most important factors to consider when determining your response, while the panel provides insights and guidance at each stage.

This interactive event is designed to enhance leadership, decision-making and crisis response skills.
