Get ready for LIDW22

The popular London International Disputes Week (LIDW) returns 9-13 May with a broad programme of events around the theme of ‘Dispute resolution: global, sustainable, ethical?’

It includes virtual and in-person events. There will be a two-day conference at Central Hall, Westminster as well as many other events including, for the first time, an ‘International Day’ which focuses on disputes resolution in London, Asia and the Americas in turn.

Topics include sustainability, corporate social, ethical and environmental responsibility, the wellbeing challenges of 'winning at all costs', climate change disputes, witness recollection, trade challenges in a digital world, and London's role in a decentralised world. Keynote speakers include Sir Geoffrey Vos, Lord Reed and I Stephanie Boyce.

Barry Fletcher, Head of Arbitration and Head of the Dispute Resolution Group at LexisNexis UK, said: 'Practitioners are spoiled for choice throughout the week, and, as in previous years, in-house and government lawyers are able to attend free of charge. It's not in London's nature to stay still, and LIDW demonstrates the commitment of the UK legal profession to evolution and excellence.' LexisNexis is a Founding Member of LIDW.

Richard Bamforth, Chair of the LIDW Strategy Group, said: `The past year has highlighted the importance of discussing the future of dispute resolution in an ever-changing world, both in London and globally. By creating a hybrid conference with events both in person and virtually, we aim to ensure that we can engage with audiences from across the globe.’
