Objective
Changes of the UK status under the EU Regulations in the area of cross-border civil and commercial law, namely the Brussels Ia, Rome I & Rome II Regulations will have a tremendous impact on commercial dispute resolution in London. Currently, jurisdiction agreements in favour of London cannot be based on the argument that the judgment will be easily enforceable across Europe and the continuous validity of (choice of law) agreements might be questioned.
Key topics
This seminar will offer a platform for discussion on the impact of Brexit on commercial dispute litigation, both during the transitional period and afterwards. It will include topics such as the fate of prorogation clauses in favour of English courts, choice of law agreements and the future of London as a legal hub.
Who should attend?
Lawyers in private practice dealing with civil and commercial litigation, cross-border debt recovery and dispute resolution; business and company lawyers; in-house counsel; representatives of banking and business organisations.
