A Balanced Perspective Addressing Concerns For All Parties

Cross-border collaboration is essential for effectively managing complex class actions, and this forum offers the perfect setting for such exchanges. Held in Amsterdam, one of Europe’s busiest class action jurisdictions, delegates will have the opportunity to network with local professionals and peers from other jurisdictions.

Those from regions with newer or developing class action regimes will gain insights into emerging issues, while experts from jurisdictions with established class action frameworks will provide valuable perspectives on strategy development based on existing precedents.
