Organisations are currently experiencing extreme levels of disruption and uncertainty from social, economic and political factors. We know that business leaders are under increased pressure to take a commercial approach to these risks and deal with disputes in a strategic way.

There is something for all, so please view the programme and catch up on the sessions you missed.

Lessons from disputes past: Practical tips for managing individual and portfolio disputes

When a business is faced with disputes across a portfolio of projects, it is important that not only are the disputes managed effectively but that the lessons learned are captured and disseminated to minimise risk and manage disputes going forward. This session will look at the legal technology available to assist with more efficient and cost effective management of disputes, as well as practical guidance, hints, tips and war stories from our experience of managing both individual disputes and portfolios in a changing disputes landscape.

Tax disputes: why GCs should care and what should they do?

Tax disputes with HMRC can have a significant effect on a business both in terms of hard cash and external brand issues as businesses being a "good citizen" has become an issue of public concern.  They can also lead to litigation, and generate issues such as collateral claims against third parties, and data requests.  With potential disputes come issues such as evidence, privilege, litigation strategy and wider governance questions, all issues GCs should take an interest in.

But tax is a foreign country run by the tax director and CFO, so how and when should a GC get involved? This talk focuses on strategy not technical tax, so no tax knowledge required!
