Event Programme

International Arbitration Day

Registrations close Thursday 30 May 09:00 GMT BST - Registration is now closed

LIDW’s International Arbitration Day will ‘follow the arbitration disputes sun’ across key regions and jurisdictions. The event will be hosted across three firms within a very short walk of one another, so that delegates can choose the sessions covering the jurisdictions and regions most relevant to their work. The International Arbitration Day will explore recent developments, the connections of those regions to English law and London seat arbitrations as well as the role of lawyers in enforcement procedures and asset recovery.
Each session will consist of a panel discussion with a moderator with time allowed for Q&A.

LIDW Networking Hub - IDRC

For 2024, LIDW has introduced networking hubs, where out-of-town delegates can book a space to work for a couple of hours between events during the week. Click through for further information and to book your place.

LIDW24 Opening Drinks Reception

REGISTRATION IS CLOSED

Join us for what promises to be a fantastic evening opening London International Disputes Week 2024.

LIDW Main Conference

YAYAH & GAR Academy Live Workshop

Following the success of LIDW YAYAH social events in the last few years, and in response to feedback from our community, LIDW24 will feature a tailored educational workshop aimed at the YAYAH community.  

To launch this initiative, we are very pleased to be able to collaborate with GAR Academy and offer a unique live learning opportunity, just a few footsteps from LIDW24’s main conference, followed by a drinks reception which will continue until 20:00.

YAYAH & Co. Dinner Clubs

LIDW YAYAH’s mission is to provide educational and social networking opportunities of the highest quality to the YAYAH community.  It is a mission we are very passionate about and one that we feel should not be constrained by a single members list. 

With that in mind, in collaboration with several groups that share our same mission, LIDW YAYAH is launching the YAYAH & Co. Dinner clubs initiative.

Each Dinner Club will be hosted by a Young Group Organisation and a YAYAH committee member. We look forward to welcoming the following Young Group Hosts for the evening:
- London VYAP
- Young ITF
- The ICC Young Arbitration & ADR Forum
- Young Fraud Lawyers Association
- YIAG
- YEAC
- DIS40

CAT amongst the pigeons - Competition law, the CAT, group actions and the next big trends

Registration for this event is now closed
With the growth of collective actions in recent years, the Competition Appeal Tribunal (CAT) has transformed itself into the UK’s class actions tribunal. The rich, objective data on CAT cases, now available for the first time, clearly show the stark surge in large competition claims based on consumer issues. These consumer issues are often high profile and play themselves out much more publicly than traditional business-to-business litigation. The level of public attention generates unique considerations in respect of participants’ reputations (both claimant and defendant side). A panel, including UK litigation analytics leaders Solomonic, competition litigation specialists from Linklaters, leading competition chambers Brick Court and reputation consultancy Byfield, will explore these themes.

Sanctions, International Law and the Impact on Rights

Registration for this event is now closed

More and more people in the West, even those who have never known a sanctioned person, are surprised to discover that their lives are touched in some way by unilateral economic sanctions. The phenomenon is labyrinthine, ever growing, and often puzzling. Our keynote and speakers will unpack this puzzle and try to answer the following questions: Are the sanctions justified? Are they lawful as a matter of international law? Do we comply and adjust? Do we fight back? Do we try to correct them to find a smoother fit with modern life? Can the historical dimension of sanctions illuminate our predicament? What is the best forum to challenge the legality of sanctions? Are the current judicial review procedures meaningless? Do sanctions achieve their aims? Are we destined for an ever-increasing world of sanctions and countersanctions? Will it be fair or moral to disregard or break sanctions? While the speakers and organisers do not promise that all the answers would be definitive, we do promise an intellectually stimulating event and networking opportunity in a safe academic space.
