This webinar is designed to introduce the key changes to laws and conventions that relate to the international enforcement of judgments, arbitral awards and mediated settlement agreements after Brexit.

This session, led by Rebecca Attree, will cover a number of key topics, including:

• The likely demise of the Brussels Regulation relating to the Enforcement of Judgements

• The likelihood of the UK signing the Lugano Convention and the potential effects

• The Hague Convention relating to recognition and enforcement of judgements

• An update on the NY Convention relating to enforcement of Arbitration Awards

• The impact of Brexit on the EU Mediation Directive

• The Singapore Convention on mediated settlement agreements – signatories, its scope, and impact on mediations in the UK

The insights and knowledge from this webinar will enhance your ability to:

• Develop a dispute resolution strategy for clients that will enable them to avail themselves of the relevant laws of enforcement

• Ensure any win or solution you obtain for your clients has “teeth” and effect in the countries where relevant assets are situated

• Keep up to date with this fast moving area of law

Who is this webinar for?

While this webinar is aimed at a general business audience, we highly recommend for litigation solicitors at every level of experience, barristers, arbitrators and international law students. This session is also beneficial to practitioners engaged in dispute resolution where parties, subject matter or assets are overseas.

We expect demand for this session to be high, so early booking is recommended.
