Navigating Mediation for complex IP disputes

Join us in person at Bird & Bird’s London office or online as we explore mediation in complex IP disputes. The session will include lessons and tips from the global coal-face. This high-level international panel will discuss the realities of what is actually happening on the ground based on their practical experiences.

We will discuss:

• The realities of advising clients to go into IP mediations – what concerns do clients express, and how are they addressed in practice? 
• What actually happens in IP mediations?  Process, preparation and negotiation. 
• Practical decision-making in IP mediations.
• The practical challenges for mediators mediating IP disputes.
• WIPO’s institutional insights – What trends is WIPO seeing in mediation? 

There will be time for Q&A and we encourage a lively debate. 

Who should attend?

The session will be of interest to lawyers and commercial parties operating in the IP sector, mediators, arbitrators, academics, and others.
