Dear readers,

Welcome to the Autumn 2024 issue of the newsletter, entitled: ‘A brave new world: managing litigation and teams in the digital age’. As our industry continues to evolve at a rapid pace, the challenges and opportunities brought forth by technological advancement demand our attention now more than ever. With the digital transformation accelerating, the ways we approach litigation, team management, and client service are being reshaped.

In this issue, we dive deep into some of the most pressing topics facing disputes lawyers today. Our contributors have provided valuable perspectives on a range of themes, each reflecting the complexity and dynamism of our new digital landscape. We explore the potential of AI to enhance case preparation, manage data, and assist in predictive analysis. Our experts share insights on leveraging digital tools to enhance collaboration and foster a sense of unity, even when colleagues are dispersed across locations and time zones. We delve into best practices for securing sensitive data, protecting client confidentiality, and mitigating the risk of cyber threats.

We also report on the excellent sessions from our Annual Litigation Committee Forum in Amsterdam in April 2024, and our webinar on litigating in China.

Thank you for joining us on this digital journey, which will fortuitously continue at our Annual Litigation Committee Forum in Singapore between 9–11 April 2025, in which we address ‘the future of litigation’.

Warm regards,

Lydia Danon
Andreas Frischknecht
