Seminar - Modern Role of the Firm

The modern firm is often argued to have a wide role in society under the banner of corporate social responsibility (CSR). This includes responsibilities over environmental social and governance impacts of the firm.

Jack Hodder will consider these arguments and present a case for the traditional role of the firm to maximise shareholder value.

Speaker Details:

Jack is acknowledged as one of the country’s foremost litigators, providing advice and advocacy on commercial, regulatory and public law matters.

In addition to tactical and strategic advice, Jack’s work has included appearances in hundreds of cases involving litigation or arbitration. In these cases he has appeared at interlocutory, trial and appeal hearings, including the Privy Council and the Supreme Court

Since 2015 Jack has been practicing as a barrister sole from Thorndon Chambers (Wellington) and Shortland Chambers (Auckland). He was previously national senior litigation partner at Chapman Tripp (and chaired the firm’s board for six years). He has previously been a Law Commissioner and was a founding editor of “The Capital Letter”.
