ACi Netherlands Investigators Forum 2026

Join your investigations colleagues for an afternoon of expert insight, high-level debate, and professional exchange at our Netherlands Forum in Amsterdam.

The programme will open with a keynote address from Tessa van Roomen, Netherlands Public Prosecutor, setting the stage with a practitioner’s perspective on the evolving landscape of corporate crime and regulatory enforcement.

The afternoon will then move into three dynamic panel discussions bringing together leading voices from law, compliance, and industry:

Panel One: Crisis Investigations – Corporate Risk in a Fragmented World will examine how organisations navigate complex investigations in an increasingly volatile and multi-jurisdictional environment. Panellists will include Professor Sharon Oded of Norton Rose Fulbright and Helen Ligeon-Klann, VP Legal Counsel for Legal Governance and Crisis Management at International Flavors & Fragrances Inc., a global leader in taste, texture, scent, nutrition and biotechnology with revenues exceeding $11 billion.

Panel Two:  The Enemy Within – Insider Risk and Corporate Espionage will explore the growing threat posed by insider actors, from data theft and sabotage to state-sponsored espionage, and the investigative and preventative strategies companies must deploy in response.

Panel Three: Speak Up or Stand Down – Robust Investigation and Anti-Retaliation Frameworks will tackle one of the most sensitive challenges in corporate investigations – building speak-up cultures that are credible, protective and legally sound.

The programme will conclude with a fireside chat with Yasmine Motarjemi, a former Nestle employee, turned whistleblower.

The forum will close with networking drinks, providing delegates with the opportunity to connect with peers and speakers in a relaxed setting.

This forum is designed for senior professionals operating at the intersection of law, compliance, and corporate risk, including:

• Corporate investigators and forensic professionals responsible for leading or managing internal investigations, fraud detection, and due diligence
• In-house legal and compliance teams including General Counsel, Chief Compliance Officers, and their teams navigating crisis management, whistleblowing frameworks, and regulatory exposure
• External lawyers and advisers from law firms and consultancies advising clients on investigations, anti-corruption, insider risk, and corporate governance
