Law and Jurisdiction Clauses: From Slip to Dispute Resolution 2026

The LMA invites you to join this informative session exploring one of the most important, yet often overlooked, elements of contract certainty.

Leading insurance barristers will explain why the choice of law and jurisdiction in your slip matters, how it can influence the handling and outcome of a dispute, and what it means in practice for underwriters and claims professionals.

The session will also examine the key differences between arbitration and Court proceedings, outlining the strategic advantages and potential drawbacks of each approach.

Designed as a clear and accessible introduction, this event will demystify law and jurisdiction clauses, and explain why they are a critical part of the risk details that should be carefully considered and negotiated.
