A tough macroeconomic environment, geopolitical turbulence and an increasingly litigious attitude to corporations is presenting in-house litigators with numerous risks and the potential for major regulatory changes. It is only natural that all in-house litigators want to better understand what to expect in the coming years and to identify any developments that might lead to a rise in litigation and disputes. At a time when crystal globes have never been more in demand, this year’s Managing Risk and Litigation conference is dedicated to helping in-house teams navigate emerging risks and litigation trends.
Sessions will explore what the litigation landscape will look like in the next 5 years, including key trends and developments in class actions, litigation funding and AI related risk, using privilege correctly within the business and the impact environmental activism.
Why Attend?
Designed to meet the needs of in-house litigators and risk professionals, this event not only addresses emerging risks and how to mitigate these, but also broader trends within the litigation industry.
Discuss:
• The ways that in-house litigators can support their business and mitigate risks with industry peers.
Benchmark:
• Against peers regarding litigation and risk management strategy.
Understand:
• How businesses can navigate emerging risks and litigation trends.
