Q&A: Trends In Dispute Resolution From A Nordic Perspective

What Is The Roschier Disputes Index?

In general, there is little publicly available information about the dispute resolution preferences of clients in the Nordic region. We obviously have our own views based on our work with clients, but in 2010 we decided to get the broader view and potentially initiate a discussion in the Nordic legal market about dispute resolution. So we contacted TNS Prospera, one of the best-known independent market research companies in this region, to set up this survey and the Roschier Disputes Index was born.

We formalized the questions alongside TNS Prospera and then surveyed the 100 biggest companies in Sweden and Finland respectively. TNS Prospera reported the findings to us and we prepared the commentary. The second edition of the Roschier Disputes Index was published this year.
