London International Disputes Week (LIDW) Information

London is a unique location as a centre for handling disputes, whether through the courts or by arbitration, mediation, expert determination or negotiation. Parties and their lawyers, speaking many different languages, have historically come to London from all over the world seeking to draw on the depth and breadth of expertise and experience that London offers, supported by the full strength of English law. London International Disputes Week celebrates the unique heritage of English law, dating back to the Magna Carta. We want to draw on that long experience in looking, together with our clients and legal practitioners from all round the world, to the future of dispute resolution, where and how disputes will arise and how London should prepare itself and adapt so it can handle them. We are delighted to welcome colleagues from around the world so we can not only celebrate what London has to offer, but also work together to create an environment for discussions about the future of dispute resolution globally.
