Solomonic at London International Disputes Week 2026
Solomonic co-hosts three panels at LIDW26 on Fraud insights, AI and data in disputes and London’s global edge.
London International Disputes Week (LIDW26) is fast approaching and we’re pleased to invite you to join us for three panel discussions we’re co-hosting throughout the week with Stewarts, 7KBW and Penningtons Manches Cooper (in partnership with The Law Society).
Solomonic data, and how it is being applied in practice, will feature as each session sits at the intersection of practitioner insight and data-driven analysis, unpacking how the disputes practice is evolving – from fraud trends to the impact of AI and London’s role as a global disputes hub.
Full details and registration links are below. We’d be delighted to see you there – spaces are limited and expected to fill quickly.

As competition between jurisdictions intensifies, global businesses need reliable dispute resolution systems that prioritise digital dexterity, procedural efficiency and legal certainty. Increasingly, the data shows their preferred venue is London.
In this panel discussion, members of the judiciary, business and legal communities will explore this highly competitive market through the lens of data analysis from the UK courts. The discussion will focus on what this means in practice for those advising on and managing cross-border disputes – including how to support client decision making and strategic positioning.
The discussion will be followed by a networking reception, hosted by The Law Society.
We hope you can join us across the week – whether for one session or all three.
Our team will also be out and about throughout LIDW26, so please do say hello if you see us.
