London International Disputes Week 2021

As a member, Norton Rose Fulbright is delighted to be involved in London International Disputes Week (LIDW) 2021 which will take place from May 10-14, 2021. LIDW21 brings together legal practitioners from around the world to celebrate the heritage of London as a centre for handling disputes through a programme of interactive sessions.

Across the 4 days, LIDW21 will run a programme of virtual sessions discussing and debating the ever-changing landscape of international dispute resolution as well as hosting a number of networking events.

Themes include: the role of London in a decentralised world, digital advocacy, social and environmental responsibility and issues, the mental health challenges faced in the legal profession and the role of technology.
