We will also undertake that most impossible and perilous of tasks - attempting to accurately predict the future.

Alex Bishop, will be hosting four roundtable sessions throughout the Summit on ‘Anticipating the unknown unknowns’. At a time when many industry sectors continue to suffer pandemic impacts, the fallout from geopolitical turmoil and other external issues, what are the litigation risks that lie ahead for GCs and heads of legal? We will draw on recent survey results from more than 360 general counsel and senior in-house lawyers from large businesses to lead a discussion focused on what are the key areas of litigation risk over the next 3 years? How are GCs allocating resources in response to a changing environment? And what are GCs doing to anticipate and mitigate exposures to risk?
