Dear readers,

Welcome to the Autumn 2025 issue of the IBA Litigation Committee newsletter, entitled: ‘Around the World in 365 Days’.

This edition takes our readers on a global tour of recent developments that have shaped the landscape of commercial dispute resolution over the past year. From landmark judgments to procedural innovations, our contributors share jurisdiction-specific insights that highlight the evolving challenges and opportunities facing litigators worldwide.

The goal of this issue is to capture how courts and legislatures across different jurisdictions are responding to new and complex matters, for instance related to AI, cryptocurrencies or ESG litigation, as well as enforcement and litigation strategy. Whether it be a new precedent affecting international jurisdiction, a reform to streamline complex proceedings, or a procedural innovation aimed at enhancing efficiency, each contribution provides practical and timely analysis for practitioners engaged in global dispute resolution.

We are deeply grateful to all our authors for their contributions, which reflect the breadth, sophistication and international character of our Committee. Together, these pieces offer a compelling snapshot of how commercial litigation continues to adapt, reform, and innovate—across continents and over the course of just one remarkable year.

We look forward to continuing these discussions in person during the IBA Annual Conference in Toronto on 2-7 November 2025, where we will explore the next developments shaping the future of litigation.

Warm regards,

Lydia Danon and Rocco Rondi
