Looking forward: London International Disputes Week 2021

It's a date! London International Disputes Week (LIDW) 2021 will take place from 10–14 May, this time as a fully virtual conference

Focusing on the theme ‘Looking Forward: challenge, change and opportunity’, this year’s conference follows on from 2019’s inaugural LIDW, which saw more than 1,100 registrations from 47 jurisdictions around the world

The 2021 programme will focus on a range of current issues, including London’s role in a decentralised world, digital advocacy, social and environmental responsibility, mental health challenges within the legal profession, and the role of technology. It will feature a keynote speech from the Lord Chancellor Robert Buckland, who will discuss London’s position as an international seat for dispute resolution.

Richard Bamforth, chair of the LIDW organising committee, said: ‘We are pleased to once again bring LIDW to the international disputes community, through this virtual conference. This year has solidified the importance of discussing the future of disputes resolution in an ever-changing world, both in London and globally.’

‘By evolving the conference into a virtual-only event, we are able to ensure that we can engage with audiences across the globe.  We look forward to welcoming our speakers and engaging with our peers and drive forward the resolution of international disputes.’
