6th International Trusts & Commercial Litigation Conference 2023

Location: New York City

Serle Court is returning to New York for its annual International Trusts and Commercial Litigation Conference. The set's flagship event is in its 6th year and will be sponsored by Litigation Funders, Hereford Litigation. The conference will be held in person at the iconic Rainbow Room, Rockefeller Centre, New York, 5th Avenue, on Monday, 6 November 2023.

This event will see some of the chambers’ expert international trusts and commercial litigation barristers discuss issues of legal interest with guests from various jurisdictions. Representatives of leading law firms and private capital around the globe will attend the conference.

Panel sessions include how key jurisdictions approach topical issues, alternative approaches in arbitration and funding, the latest trends and troubles in shareholder disputes, maximising recovery in cross-border claims, fiduciary loyalty and the independence imperative, and issues thrown up by real estate, art and crypto as assets.

The conference will be followed by a closing party at Manhattan's premier rooftop cocktail lounge, The Skylark, kindly sponsored by Kroll.

Chambers thanks its conference sponsors, Hereford Litigation (main conference sponsor), Katten (pre-conference drinks reception), Kroll (closing party), and Summit Trust (client activity), for their generosity before and after the event.
