Criminal Law Fundamentals for HR Professionals

What’s your protocol when a serious employee issue isn't just a policy breach, but a potential crime?

​

The line between gross misconduct and criminal activity can be dangerously thin. Falsified expenses, a physical altercation, a data breach: knowing how to respond in the critical first moments is not just an HR task; it's a legal necessity that protects you, your employees, and your company.

​

This is why we are launching a new, essential webinar series designed exclusively for HR leaders in Malta.

​​

We invite you to the foundational first session: Criminal Law Fundamentals for HR Professionals

In 95 minutes, we will equip you with a foundational understanding of Maltese criminal law concepts that directly impact your role. Topics covered will include:

​

• Distinguish Crime from Contravention: Understand the critical difference between a major theft (delitt) and a minor infringement (kontravvenzjoni) to calibrate your response correctly.

• Recognise Liability in Action vs. Inaction: Learn how failing to act (ommissjoni) can be as legally perilous as a wrongful act (azzjoni).

• Grasp the Concept of Intent: Demystify the difference between malicious intent (dolus) and negligence (culpa), and why "I didn't mean to" isn't always a defence.

• Master the "First Responder" Protocol: Know the immediate, practical steps to take to secure evidence, manage the parties involved, and decide when to file a police report (kwerela).

​

This is the first and most crucial session in our new legal series for HR professionals. The concepts covered here are the bedrock for all future topics.

​

This session is being held by Dr Martina Cuschieri, Advocate at Filletti and Filletti Advocates and Dr Roselyn Borg will also give practical insights from an employment law perspective. 

Ensure you're prepared before a crisis hits.

Join us on 30th October!
