What we say

What our members say

"I have been impressed by the way in which ThoughtLeaders4 have adapted to the changes brought by the Pandemic and, in particular, by their regular programme of well-paced seminars delivered virtually.
When I heard that they were establishing a Disputes Community to complement their other communities, I was very keen for the firm to come on board as a Community Partner".

Sue Millar - Stephenson Harwood

“ThoughtLeaders4 adapted brilliantly to virtual networking and have been a saviour during these times when we are all missing each other. Having had such a good experience over the past year we had no hesitation in signing up as a Community Partner for the new Disputes community”

Andy McGregor - RPC

"ThoughtLeaders4 has excelled in putting together a diverse set of digital events over the last year, and following our productive involvement with FIRE, we look forward to being part of a wider set of discussions that affect the broader Disputes Community.”

Nikos Asimakopoulos - Alaco

“We are delighted to become a partner of the new Disputes Community at ThoughtLeaders4. Innovation is key for us at Radcliffe Chambers and so we admire TL4’s original and engaging approach and how seamlessly they adapted to an online world at the onset of the pandemic. We look forward to working with them on all things CDR and international arbitration-related.”

Shantanu Majumdar - Radcliffe Chambers

"From the first meeting we had with ThoughtLeaders4 we really like the vision. The vision is to produce a practical community of practitioners that are looking out for each other, who were sharing thought leadership and are going to help each other"

Adam Garside - BRG
