    Digitising disputes – 6 of 14 Insights

    The Future of Litigation – Episode 1

    • Quick read

    Hearings in a remote world

    What is the future of litigation? How will the digital revolution affect the conduct of disputes, and what does that mean for you? Season 1 of Sidebar – the new podcast from Taylor Wessing, which predicts the impact of the issues, innovations and trends facing the wider legal landscape – has the answers.

     

    The first episode in our Future of Litigation season, "Hearings in a remote world", looks at the upsides, downsides and untapped potential of remote hearings. Together with leading barrister Anneliese Day QC, Disputes & Investigations partners Laurence Lieberman and Katie Chandler share their views on (and experiences in) the virtual courtroom, including: 

    • Key learnings from the first six months of remote hearings.
    • The unexpected challenges and benefits of virtual proceedings, including client/advocate interaction, cross examination, evidence bundles and more.
    • The role of remote hearings in a post-pandemic world.

    Listen to Episode 1 of The Future of Litigation above, or on Apple Podcasts, Spotify, Amazon Music, Google Podcasts or Stitcher.
