Round Tables

The round table topics have been carefully selected to cover the many facets of business dispute resolution. Our goal is to bring together, for one day and in one  place, professionals  who do not necessarily have the opportunity to meet in their daily practice.

The twelve round tables will address a wide range of subjects — from digital law, financial and business criminal law, compliance, antitrust, and restructuring, to reputation management, governance, and the practice of Paris-based and international jurisdictions.
They will also explore amicable dispute resolution mechanisms and the use of generative AI in decision-making.
