Disputes from a commercial perspective

As disputes are becoming larger and more complex, the risks and opportunities associated with dispute resolution are becoming increasingly important for commercial parties.

The seminar will put you in the shoes of your client and take a commercial perspective on dispute resolution. We will not discuss cross-examination, expert evidence, and conflicts of interest. Instead, we will focus on the topics that matter to your client.

Four esteemed panelists with legal and commercial backgrounds will provide their perspectives on issues such as outcome assessments, dispute strategies, fee arrangements, communication with counsel, and strategic approaches to cases involving media attention. Hopefully, we will leave the seminar with a better understanding of the needs and interests of the main stakeholders of arbitration.

The panel will be composed by Søren Johansen from Altor, Lotta Knapp from Perstorp Group, Thony Härdin from Litigium Capital, and Knud Jacob Knudsen from Simonsen Vogt Wiig. The discussion will be moderated by Johan Tufte-Kristensen and rounded out by Mads Bryde Andersen.

Lunch and coffee will be sponsored by FOCOFIMA’s Business Group.
