Event summary

Cooley is a proud sponsor of The Lawyer’s Managing Risk & Litigation Conference 2026.

With geopolitical turbulence, macroeconomic instability, regulatory uncertainty and an increasingly litigious attitude towards corporations, in-house litigators are presented with an increasingly complicated and changing risk landscape. This year’s Managing Risk & Litigation conference is dedicated to helping in-house teams navigate emerging risks and litigation trends, develop robust strategies and understand what they can expect to see in coming years.

At the 12th edition of Managing Risk & Litigation, sessions will explore the impact of continued geopolitical instability and rapid technological advancement on the litigation landscape.

Featured agenda item:

Strategic approaches to new challenges in the international disputes landscape

In 2026, we have seen the risks from class actions and international disputes evolve further. With the emergence of new types of claims, more active disputes centres internationally and increasingly sophisticated approaches to claims, organisations are exposed to more litigation risk than before. Are organisations prepared, and have they adjusted their strategies accordingly to defend themselves from new and sophisticated approaches to disputes?

This roundtable discussion featuring Cooley partners James Maton and Sascha Grimm will focus on effective strategies and practical steps you can take to manage complex disputes.

  • Does your organisation have a full understanding of the processes and the right approach to take towards new kinds of claims?
  • What strategy should you take to external counsel management to ensure an aligned response to disputes?
  • How is the bundling of claims resulting in greater litigation risk? How can you avoid being caught out by these?
  • How should you respond to and coordinate a consistent response to the same claim being brought against your organisation in numerous jurisdictions?
