London International Disputes Week 2026: Construction Disputes in the Defence Sector

Now in its seventh year, the much-anticipated London International Disputes Week (LIDW) 2026 will be taking place on 1-5 June 2026, bringing together legal experts from around the globe to engage in insightful discussions on the key trends, themes and talking points in dispute resolution. The theme of LIDW 2026 is "Tradition, Trust and Transformation in Dispute Resolution".

As a founding member of LIDW, Herbert Smith Freehills Kramer is delighted to be actively participating in prominent events throughout LIDW26, including a panel session on "Construction Disputes in the Defence Sector" which we are co-hosting with HKA.

Construction plays a critical role in the timely delivery and operational effectiveness of defence sector projects, from defence infrastructure to specialised facilities and installations. Against the current backdrop of rising geopolitical tensions and renewed focus on defence spending globally, construction claims and disputes pose significant risks to project continuity and even national security interests. Our panel will explore the key legal and contractual challenges in managing construction claims and disputes within the defence sector, providing insights on this increasingly complex and high-stakes area.
