Episode 41: Allegations against Mohamed Al-Fayed; Huw Edwards repaying his salary; the “The Dad Shift” campaign to promote paternity leave

In our latest episode of The Lawdown, Partners Sarah Chilton and Beth Hale and Associate Kia Aoki discuss the following:

The allegations of rape and sexual assault against former Harrods owner Mohamed Al-Fayed. We discuss how organisations should deal with a powerful personality, as well as the extent to which due diligence on a company before it is acquired can bring to light historic sexual assault claims.
The latest developments in relation to former BBC news presenter Huw Edwards and the recent calls for him to return the salary he received from the BBC after his arrest.
The campaign run by a group called “The Dad Shift”, which involved statues of famous men such as Thierry Henry and Laurence Olivier having model babies in slings attached to them. The campaign brought attention to the paternity leave entitlements in the UK, which are the worst in Europe. We consider how these poor entitlements impact other areas, including the gender pay gap and societal perceptions of men and women.
