NLJ this week: Commercial litigation in a post-pandemic, post-Brexit world

74293
Commercial litigation in the post-pandemic world―what can we expect to see?

Writing in this week’s NLJ, Michael Frisby, partner at Stevens & Bolton looks ahead to the trends and issues likely to occupy the minds of commercial litigators.

Brexit was the big issue back in early 2020, but then the grim reality of the pandemic became apparent, with an immediate impact on dispute resolution. So, what now?

The technology is likely here to stay. In an informative article, Frisby also highlights the range of issues affecting supply chains. He writes: ‘We might conclude that there is a prospect that in the short to medium term, we will see an increase in insolvencies and disputes, including disputes arising from supply issues caused by the pandemic, Brexit, current economic conditions and the political situation in Ukraine.’
