Overview (Program Summary)
A program hosted by:
ACC EuropeCollective litigation – once a US phenomenon – is now reshaping the UK legal landscape. Over the past decade, claims have surged, driven by legislative and procedural changes, evolving court attitudes, the rise of litigation funding, and claimant-focused law firms with strong US roots. These firms are actively generating claims, and the headlines show the impact across sectors – consumer, manufacturing, tech, pharma, and utilities.
For in-house counsel, this is more than a trend. It’s a growing risk that demands foresight:
- Where are the vulnerabilities for your organisation?
- What steps can you take before litigation begins?
In this ACC Europe and Squire Patton Boggs partnership webinar, leading external and in-house counsel will share:
- The developments already shaping the litigation landscape
- Trends to expect in the next few years
- Practical strategies to resist or defend collective claims
This session is designed to give you clear, actionable insights to protect your business at the pre-litigation stage and strengthen your position before disputes escalate.
Secure your place and gain the knowledge to stay ahead of this rising risk.
