Join Quadrant Chambers and Gowling WLC during London International Disputes Week  for this practical and timely panel discussion exploring how costs in litigation and arbitration can be managed effectively while maintaining quality, even in the most complex disputes.

Dispute resolution can be expensive in both monetary terms and the time commitment involved. Clients are understandably focused on value, efficiency, transparency and proportionality while securing the best possible result. In our experience, it is possible to balance those objectives by adopting a conscious and considered approach that draws effectively on the tools available.

This session provides a straightforward look at how intelligent case management and strategic decision-making can help control spend without compromising outcomes or quality. Designed for international and in-house lawyers, the discussion will offer practical guidance to help you navigate cost pressures while maintaining trust and high standards in a rapidly evolving disputes landscape.

During this session, the panel will explore:

• Cost management strategies and practical steps for controlling spend.
• The crucial distinction between cost and price, and why efficiency, not “cheapness,” drives value.
• International perspectives on legal costs, client expectations and comparisons across jurisdictions.
• How procedural tools including ADR, Part 36 and effective case management can support proportionate outcomes.
• How AI and emerging technology can support efficiency across disputes workflows.
  Consideration of recent court decisions and CPR amendments on costs budgeting
