Market report: commercial litigation
The In-House Lawyer (IHL): How has market uncertainty impacted London’s commercial litigation market over the past year, and how do you expect this to evolve?
Ben Knowles (BK): The consensus is that when you have global dislocation, with England and Wales as a major disputes hub you would expect a pick-up in disputes as a result. You would expect a pick-up in disputes because of Brexit, because of Covid and because of other issues that might arise out of Russian and other sanctions, for example. So there is a consensus in the market that we’re heading into a dispute-rich environment.
