Conflicts, economic instability, trade wars and post-pandemic fallouts are keeping the world in a state of limbo – it feels like just as we begin to recover from one crisis, another emerges.

This isn’t just playing out globally - we’re seeing it in High Court litigation as well. While Solomonic data suggests we may be over the hump of pandemic business interruption and big-ticket Russian aircraft seizure claims, fresh waves of litigation like mis-sold motor finance and ESG claims are stepping into the spotlight.

With climate risks escalating, conflicts continuing and global uncertainty, the big question is: Are we moving past the crisis period anytime soon or are we now living in a permanent ‘polycrisis’?

This webinar discussion will take a 360° view to explore critical hotspots shaping the litigation landscape, including:

• Risk: Is there a crisis in funding availability and risk appetite? Following a wave of claims in 2023 and the PACCAR decision, plus CJC review, how is the sector responding? With fewer new group actions but ongoing claims remaining high, what’s next for competition litigation and the class action regime?

• Insurance: what’s next on the risk radar for the insurance sector, hit hard by Covid claims and the aircraft leasing cases?

• Reputation: What’s keeping in-house legal teams awake at night? How are companies managing increased regulatory scrutiny, litigation burden and reputational risks?

• Resolution: With claims taking longer to resolve, what strategies are being adopted to protect stakeholder interests and secure favourable outcomes?
