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.
