I am the knowledge and development lawyer in our London International Dispute Resolution team. I play a key role in keeping my colleagues updated so that they are at the forefront of legal developments, trends and case law in the litigation and international arbitration arenas for the benefit of our clients.

A summary of key legal updates which may impact in-house counsel teams.

In this edition we consider some important judgments which will be of interest to those drafting commercial contracts. These decisions look at contractual rights in relation to termination provisions, exclusion clauses and force majeure. We examine a decision which protects confidential information overheard during a business meeting and discuss some important developments regarding the enforcement of judgments in the EU, reform of the Arbitration Act 1996 and the continuing implementation of the Consumer Redress Directive in the EU.
