This Solomonic Insights webinar, in partnership with Alvarez & Marsal, explores the evolving landscape of technology and IT disputes amid increasing digital complexity and the proliferation of AI across industries. Solomonic data shows a significant rise in tech-related disputes since 2020 and the panel dives into issues like contracts, IP, public sector procurement and consumer rights. The discussion also considers the role of alternative dispute resolution (ADR), the increasing difficulty of resolving such disputes and the need for legal frameworks to keep pace with rapid tech advances.

The panel features a diverse group of leading practitioners in IT and technology. Phil Beckett and Siobhan Forster of Alvarez & Marsal are both specialists in IT forensics and disputes. Lauren Hamilton, a partner at Addleshaw Goddard, focuses on litigation in the tech sector. Rebecca Keating, a barrister at 4 Pump Court, brings expertise in technology, AI and quantum computing law. Domonique Rai-Varming, VP of Trust and Legal at Trustpilot, shares perspectives on legal and regulatory issues from within a leading platform business. Grant McCaig, Head of Legal for Shared Services at Phoenix Group, offers the in-house legal view from a major financial services firm. Together, they provide a comprehensive overview of how these disputes are evolving.
