EU Collective Redress Circle
11 September 2025
to 12 September 2025
Portugal
The EU Collective Redress Circle is an exclusive, invitation only event. It will feature 40 handpicked European practitioners with a focus on Collective Redress. This event will be expertly steered by our Advisory Board Genevieve Quierin of Stephenson Harwood, Ianika Tzankova of Birkway, Henner Schläfke of Noerr, Ana Rita Calmeiro Barroca of Sousa Ferro & Associados, and María Pérez Carrillo of Cuatrecasas.
This exclusive invitation only event, involves facilitated discussions across one and a half days of content.
The Advisory Board will devise and curate the invite list and areas of discussion. Designed to be interactive and as inclusive as possible, there are no set-piece presentations or panel sessions with the focus being on open discussion.
The Circle will run as a mixture of entire group square format sessions, along with an afternoon of interactive roundtables, whereby we are expecting all attendees to be involved throughout. Our Advisory Board will each lead on the sessions to get the conversation amongst all attendees started.
Given the format this is very much fluid, and we are keen to take suggestions from attendees up until the event itself as to what you would like to have covered.
