Data Driven Disputes

Welcome to the Data Driven Disputes hub, a resource especially for in-house lawyers who need to understand the trends in disputes, what these mean for the future and the impact on their business.

Data is a powerful tool for driving change. That’s why we’ve adopted a research-led approach to use data to test hypotheses on key contentious issues and how they will develop in the future - including class actions, adjudication, sector-disputes, enforcement of intellectual property rights and the rise of ESG claims. Our research helps you, and us, stay up-to-date and use data-driven insights to inform dispute resolution strategies.

If you're interested in exploring any of the insight on this hub further, please get in touch.
