Dispute Resolution Conference 2026 – Risk & Resolutions

Successful businesses thrive on optimism, but in today’s economic climate there are concerns that may keep business owners and leaders awake at night. The uncertain market outlook and rising costs lead to challenges with cash flow management and retaining customers and employees. The opportunities and threats of technology, the ever-increasing burden of red tape, the conflicts around leadership and succession planning. All these concerns may have underlying legal risks for business. And unfortunately, some risks become realities and quickly escalate into disputes.

At this year’s Dispute Resolution Conference, members of our team and key guest speakers will identify the most common legal risks concerning businesses today and explore the best commercial remedies and resolutions. The conference will give you an opportunity to raise questions and concerns and to interact with our speakers. We look forward to meeting you.
