The Annual Labour Law Conference// Annual Litigation Conference // Joint Session with the SCILL Commission organised by the International Association of Young Lawyers is taking place from 13 to 15 October 2022 in Amsterdam.
Litigation Annual Conference – The rise of group and multi-party litigation and its challenges
The increase in group litigations, class actions and multi-party litigations show no signs of slowing down. Claims have become increasingly large and complex, bringing new and varied challenges.
This seminar will examine the challenges of large scale and group litigations, with perspectives from both members of the judiciary and practitioners. They will look at trends in the market, funding and witnesses (both fact and expert) in multi-party proceedings. In addition, they will also focus on wider skills, including advocacy and witness examination.
Annual Labour Law Conference – How to deal with employment issues efficiently and to solve disputes in the best interest of the client
Employment relations have become increasingly complicated, with the volume of claims in an employment context (and the delays in resolving those claims) inevitably rising. Moreover, employment claims often involve many other business aspects stretching beyond the individual employment relationship such as protection of trade secrets, compliance issues (internal audits) and debt recovery. The seminar attendees will not only be offered useful insights on resolving employment disputes in a traditional way but also by the means of ADR.
Besides resolving employment disputes, further “hot” topics, such as gender discrimination at the workplace, global mobility, employment implications of whistleblowing regimes and how out of office activities affect the employment will be addressed throughout the conference.
Joint Session with the SCILL Commission
Moreover, the Litigation and Labour Law Commissions have teamed up with the SCILL Commission for an interactive joint session on “Neuroscience”. All attendees are invited to join this session, which aims to hone the soft skills required for lawyers when dealing with clients and counterparties not only during negotiations (such as settlement negotiations) but also during commercial and labour disputes.
Our Spanish member firm álvarez lentner is a gold sponsor of this event. Almudena Álvarez, Managing Partner of the firm, will be moderating the panel on how in and out of office private activities affect the employment.
