Ankura is delighted to host a virtual discussion with Lady Justice Carr and a global panel of legal experts on the future of litigation. The world never fails to surprise us with its geopolitical and economic fault lines, fissures, flashpoints and fractures. Apart from handling those and the aftershocks of the Covid-19 pandemic, other trends are emerging which will transform dispute resolution in the next five years. Responding to new risks and taking advantage of the change underway, means lawyers need to be future-ready. In this interactive session our panel will address: • Transformation in the judiciary as courts embrace technology and go online. • Dispute avoidance and innovative pandemic related dispute resolution. • Keeping a finger on the cyber risk pulse and preparing for data breach litigation. • A new balance of power as class actions and collective redress emerge globally. • Key developments around the world in climate and ESG litigation. • Specialised courts to support National Vision 2030 and ‘giga’ projects in the Middle East. • The need for complex data analysis in litigation in a data-driven world. • The future of the legal profession and O-shaped lawyers.
