Organisations across the Asia-Pacific region are facing a growing exposure to disputes, driven by rapid technological change, evolving ESG expectations, geopolitical realignment and continued disruption across global supply chains. These challenges are reshaping how commercial risk emerges and how disputes must be managed.

For General Counsel and in-house legal leaders, these pressures are compounded by the realities of operating across diverse legal systems and regulatory environments. Successfully navigating this landscape demands a balance of global perspective and deep local knowledge.

The Legal 500’s Asia-Pacific Disputes Summit will bring together senior in-house counsel and leading disputes practitioners from across the region to examine how organisations are adapting their approach to dispute risk in an increasingly complex operating environment. The agenda will consider the evolving role of the GC in periods of global volatility, the practical challenges of navigating cross-border disputes, and how businesses are balancing efficiency, cost control and reputational considerations when disputes arise.

This year’s programme will further spotlight developments in selected Asia-Pacific jurisdictions and examine how local legal and enforcement realities influence cross-border dispute strategy.

The summit will also explore how technology is transforming dispute management and investigations, alongside practical approaches to crisis response and dispute financing.

Attendees can expect practical insight, peer exchange and valuable opportunities to share perspectives with fellow senior legal leaders from across the region.
