Now in its fifth year, the much-anticipated London International Disputes Week (LIDW) 2024 will be taking place on 3-7 June 2024, bringing together legal experts from around the globe to engage in insightful discussions on the key trends, themes and talking points in the dispute resolution world.

The theme for LIDW24, "Uniting for global challenge and opportunity" will follow up on last year's theme "Adapting to a changing world" and look not only at what progress has been made in the dispute resolution world over the last year, but also at what we can expect over the next year and beyond. What does the year ahead hold for the global dispute resolution community?
