Partner, Russell McVeagh
Chris Curran is a commercial and public law litigation partner at Russell McVeagh with a particular interest in ICT disputes.
He has advised and represented clients involved in complex multi-party ICT proceedings, including on contract, tort and intellectual property issues.
He has appeared in numerous cases at every level of the New Zealand Court system.
It is important to consider at the outset of any project whether an escrow agreement is needed, in what circumstances a release should be triggered, and whether that release will actually give the client the protection they envisioned.
A bulletproof escrow agreement is no use unless the parties to it actually follow through on their obligations and make deposits regularly.
Mei Fern Johnson will explain in lay terms what an escrow arrangement entails and how you can put one in place in New Zealand. She will also explain the key terms and conditions required for an escrow arrangement, including the trips and traps when agreeing to such terms and conditions.
Chris Curran will discuss how to prevent things going wrong with escrow agreements, and how to act if they do.
