Panel 2 - CPR Europe: As technology disputes become more complex, judges and juries are increasingly ill-equipped to understand and resolve them, leading to the wider adoption of ADR, which typically allows the parties to select mediators or arbitrators with the right background and experience. This roundtable brings together diverse perspectives from in-house counsel, institutions and outside counsel to discuss this ever-evolving topic of technology disputes and their resolution.

As young practitioners gain more experience, they are expected to manage client relationships and case matters efficiently and within budget. This panel will ask questions such as: How can young practitioners gain visibility with the client? How can they understand their client’s commercial objectives--both in the context of a specific matter and more generally? How can they win clients’ trust and confidence? Moderator: Panelists: |
