Seminar 21 March 2023 at 16.00 – 18.00

In troubled times, there is an increased need to dispute. At the same time, it is even more important to protect collaborations and business. How to act in order to prevent disputes and the loss of financial values?

The world and the social climate are currently characterized by great uncertainty. It is not always for the company itself to choose whether to end up in court proceedings or not – sometimes the dispute comes as a bolt from the blue. The need to litigate increases in economically difficult times which is why it is important for companies to assess the risks, acting both strategically and proactively.

Proactivity is thinking strategically about disputes. Clarity in the contract process regarding which risks that exist, and who bears the cost of those risks, is positive for both parties. That way, you ensure business in the long-term while increasing the possibility of more and expanded collaborations.

Disputes and disagreements place high demands on negotiation skills. In addition to legal knowledge and practical experience, the ability to understand the other party is also needed. How then to navigate around risks and pitfalls related to disputes? How do you increase the chance of success in a potential process? Is it even possible to avoid disputes?

On March 21, we invite you to a lecture where our lawyers share their experience of different types of disputes. They will also share their experience and give practical examples.
