London International Disputes Week 2025 (LIDW)

5RB is delighted to play an active role in the London International Disputes Week 2025 (LIDW), hosting two standout sessions that will address some of the most pressing challenges in modern litigation.

• Litigating Social Media: A Defamation Labyrinth? (Virtual session)
  In an era where reputations can be made or destroyed online, Adrienne Page KC will dissect the evolving landscape of defamation on social media. She joins Athalie Matthews (Counsel, Farrer & Co) for what promises to be an interesting online debate.
• Managing a Data and Misinformation Crisis: The Legal, Forensic and PR Perspectives – (in person session)
  When a crisis hits, a coordinated response is critical. Adam Speker KC (5RB) brings his legal expertise to a panel session, joined by Sophie Lamon (Partner, Grant Thornton), Claire Davidson (Partner, DRD Partnership), and Vijay Rathour (Partner, Grant Thornton), discussing how to tackle misinformation and data breaches in high-stakes scenarios.

These sessions reflect 5RB’s position at the forefront of media and information law and how our barristers are equipped to assist in commercial cases.

We look forward to building connections throughout the week.
