We were delighted to attend Crafty Learns and Crafty Fest 2026, hosted by Crafty Counsel, which brought together over 800 in-house legal professionals for two engaging and insightful days.
Even in the face of tube strikes and torrential rain, the event was executed seamlessly with the Crafty Counsel team embracing the conditions with ponchos, umbrellas and great energy throughout. Their efforts created a fantastic atmosphere and a truly memorable experience for all involved.
Sharing Practical Guidance on Disputes
As part of the programme, our Commercial Disputes Senior Consultants, Faye Moore and Catherine McBride, delivered their session:
“Disputes – how to keep costs and complexity under control.”
Disputes are often one of the most difficult and resource-intensive challenges organisations face. The session focused on equipping in-house lawyers with practical tools and strategies to better manage these situations.
Key areas covered included:
- Identifying and managing risk at an early stage
- Taking a commercial, proportionate approach to disputes
- Maintaining control over legal costs
- Reducing unnecessary complexity wherever possible
