The global disputes landscape is becoming increasingly complex, with a surge in high-value cases tied to infrastructure projects, financial transactions, and cross-border investments in the UK, Middle East, and beyond. Legal teams are faced with growing jurisdictional and procedural challenges, from navigating arbitration frameworks and enforcement regimes to managing disputes that intersect with regulation, finance, and international business. Staying ahead of these trends is vital for organisations seeking to mitigate risk, protect their financial interests, and respond effectively when disputes arise.
At the same time, the tools and tactics for dispute resolution are evolving rapidly. Arbitration, mediation, and litigation remain central, but are now supported by innovative AI-driven platforms and digital case management toolsthat streamline preparation, improve accuracy, and reduce costs. Drawing on recent landmark cases in construction and banking, this session will provide in-house counsel and law firms with practical strategies, best practices, and technology insights to help manage disputes more efficiently and achieve stronger outcomes.
