The business law firm will host the event on 12 September at The Royal Irish Academy of Music in Dublin as Ireland prepares for a significant shift in its legal framework with the introduction of class actions.

This development could significantly reshape Ireland’s corporate risk and liability landscape, the firm says.

The conference will also spotlight the growing role of alternative dispute resolution (ADR) methods in modern conflict management. These approaches can offer more efficient, cost-effective solutions for the stakeholders involved.

Gerard Kelly, dispute resolution partner at Mason Hayes & Curran, said: “The Irish legal landscape is undergoing a transformation that will significantly impact how businesses manage risk and resolve disputes.

“This conference will equip business leaders and in-house legal teams with crucial insights to navigate these changes and shape the future of dispute resolution in Ireland.

“Our aim is both to inform and to help drive this important conversation forward.”

Panellists at the conference will include Kelley Smith SC, Andrew Fitzpatrick SC, and experts from the Irish Aviation Authority, Squarespace, Permanent TSB and Fountain Court Chambers.
