On Thursday, 10 December 2020, our co-panellists will discuss how legal protections to consumers affect the conduct of business by e-commerce companies in India, businesses in Singapore, the UK and the US. The panel will discuss which primary regulatory impediments face these companies and how consumer laws and product liability issues in their jurisdictions affect foreign companies setting up there. We invite you to be a part of an engaging discussion that explores the rules and regulations governing the conduct of these businesses around the globe.
The discussion will be followed by a Q&A.
This is also a great opportunity for the attendees to ask specific queries with respect to consumer and product liability issues that they may be facing in the jurisdictions of our expert panellists.
