In a legal environment shaped by uncertainty, regulatory scrutiny, and increasing pressure on businesses to act ethically and transparently, the role of litigation teams has shifted. No longer just defenders of legal claims, they are strategic advisors at the heart of reputational, regulatory, and financial risk.
This panel explores how litigation lawyers are adapting to challenges around AI-driven evidence, cross-border enforcement, climate-related disputes, and increasingly complex regulatory intervention. We’ll also examine the rising demand for dispute prevention, the impact of litigation funding, and the balancing act between aggressive advocacy and corporate responsibility.
Perfect for students curious about the commercial realities behind courtroom battles, this session unpacks the evolving pressures on litigation teams - and the skills aspiring lawyers need to meet them.
