Reflections Report on LIDW25: Innovation in dispute resolution: Navigating global risks

LIDW25 marked a significant moment for London as a global hub for international dispute resolution. Against a backdrop of geopolitical shifts, complex risks, evolving regulatory landscapes and rapid technological change, this year’s theme – “Innovation in dispute resolution: Navigating global risks” – resonated deeply with practitioners, clients and thought leaders alike.

Our annual Reflections Report reviews the convergence of over 10,000 dispute resolution experts from 106 jurisdictions, both virtually and in person, with nearly 30,000 registrations for events throughout the week.

The report not only summarises the week’s main themes and highlights but also presents the ideas and ambitions that emerged, which we believe will influence the future of global dispute resolution. Whether your interest lies in international arbitration, litigation, mediation or cutting-edge issues of navigating diverse risks such as AI, ESG, or cybersecurity, we hope these reflections provide valuable takeaways and inspiration.

We look forward to welcoming friends old and new from all over the globe to London again for LIDW26, which takes place from 1 to 5 June 2026.
