London Partner Joanna Ludlam will participate as a panellist at the IFSEA Annual Conference 2026, taking place on Tuesday 16 June 2026 at Saddlers' Hall.
Joanna will take part in a panel session during the conference "Memory, Perception and the Search for Truth in Executive Investigations," alongside Dr. Benjamin J. Griffiths (University of Nottingham), Emily Kaufer (Air Canada), and Ellen Peart (BCL), with Beth Hale (CM Murray LLP) chairing the conversation. The session will examine the psychological realities that shape witness accounts in executive-level investigations and disputes, exploring how memory works and fails, how confirmation bias can affect interviews and decision-making, and how stress, alcohol, and the passage of time can distort recollections. The panel will address practical interviewing methods, credibility assessment, and the safeguards needed to make findings defensible in high-stakes executive cases.
As Chair of the London Public Law and Crisis Management Practice and Co-Chair of the firm's Investigations Department and Global Crisis Management and Strategic Risk Practice, Joanna brings a unique skill set and steady guidance to clients facing sensitive, high-stakes matters. Her strategic, level-headed approach offers clear direction in moments of intense public and legal pressure.
