The expansion of corporate criminal liability – How ECCTA 2023 and the Crime and Policing Act 2026 will change all businesses.
Samuel Skinner KC will deliver a focused and practical briefing on the Economic Crime and Corporate Transparency Act 2023 (ECCTA) and the now‑in‑force (as of 29 April 2026) Crime and Policing Act 2026, two legislative milestones that develop the framework of corporate criminal liability. Lawyers advising corporates, boards, regulated professionals, and senior individuals must understand how these reforms will operate.
The session will define the statutory concept of the “senior manager”, now central to corporate attribution. Samuel will explain how this broader test displaces the restrictive “directing mind and will” doctrine, enabling prosecutors to attribute criminal liability to organisations through a wider number of decision‑makers. He will also examine the interaction between attribution reforms and the failure‑to‑prevent offences, highlighting the governance, compliance, and risk‑exposure consequences emerging in practice.
The law has changed, and prosecutors can use these powers today. Lawyers who understand the scope, mechanics, and strategic implications of the new regime will be better placed to protect clients, anticipate investigative approaches, and advise on proactive steps before issues escalate. This is an opportunity to gain clarity, authority, and a competitive edge in a rapidly evolving enforcement landscape.
