Managing ESG Litigation Risks
Companies’ environmental, social and governance (“ESG”) narratives are increasingly important.  The highly regulated life sciences and healthcare (“LSHC”) sector is often criticised for its high water and carbon usage, and its waste creation.  LSHC companies are likely to come under increased scrutiny in this regard. If ESG issues and risks are not managed effectively, the potential arises for regulatory enforcement, civil litigation, criminal sanctions, and reputational harm.  LSHC companies and their legal advisers should be alive to these issues, and they should be incorporated into risk management strategies and monitored accordingly.   We focus on three ‘litigation risk’ areas below.

International Disputes Digest - 2023 Summer Edition
We are pleased to present the summer edition of the International Disputes Digest, our bi-annual publication bringing essential news and analysis on the latest trends in dis­pute-res­ol­u­tion around the world. There are many crises and problems that continue to complicate global business. These include inflation, particularly in the energy sector, as the EU and other regions struggle to wean themselves from Russian natural gas and oil. There is also the US debt crisis, which has weakened international confidence in the economy and distracted Washington from pressing issues, such as its relationship with China and the on-going war in the Ukraine. We hope that the articles in this digest provide readers with the know-how and tools to help them resolve any disputes or setbacks they may face. In this edition, we feature a range of articles from around the world on topics such as ESG litigation, the financial impact of cyber-attacks on businesses, post-merger disputes, the use of arbitration in resolving M&A-related issues, and how disputes can be managed in digital trade transactions. We also explore the reasons behind a wave of class action lawsuits in Portugal, the influence of personal relationships among arbitrators on disclosure, recusal, or appeals, and the 'without prejudice' principle, amongst other matters. We hope that you enjoy reading these articles and please do not hesitate to contact us should you wish to discuss any issues in relation to them.

In Dispute: Risk in litigation 2023
There are many ways of seeing a major piece of litigation, but one way in which it is commonly understood by clients is simply as a game of chance.  In the commercial sphere in particular, key stakeholders want to know simply what are the chances of winning.  But lawyers have traditionally struggled to engage effectively with clients in relation to the risks of litigation, often giving broad brush estimates (if they give even that) of prospects of success without any apparent explanation or rigour. So, what are your odds, what are the factors which cause uncertainty in litigation and how can these be best analysed and addressed?
