  • Firms give their perspective on the changing disputes scene in insight taken from The Lawyer's Litigation Top 50 report Q What trends do you expect to see in location and dispute types over the next one to two years? Allen & Overy: We are seeing especially high levels of activity in IP, arbitration, cross-border investigations and white-collar crime. We are busy with IP cases related to hi-tech and life sciences patent disputes; in the international arbitration arena, with treaty claims and with cases related to the energy sector; and cross-border investigations ranging from regulatory in the financial services space to white-collar crime, bribery and corruption and tax investigations in a variety of sectors. Baker & McKenzie: Regulatory disputes will continue to be a major concern for multinational companies due to increased co-operation between regulators, and the continued worsening of tensions in the Middle East will mean ongoing concerns regarding compliance with trade sanctions. International arbitration will continue to rise as a side-effect of increasing numbers of cross-border energy and infrastructure projects, where arbitration is the most commonly chosen dispute resolution option.
