Dispute resolution is no longer just a legal matter, it has become a strategic business issue.   In an interview with Dagens Juridik, SCC Specialist Counsel Jake Lowther shares his perspective on the shifting landscape of commercial dispute resolution.   Among the key themes he covers:    โ€ข Dispute resolution is moving closer to the boardroom. Parties in M&A transactions are thinking about forum selection and arbitration clauses well before closing.   โ€ข ISDS is at a crossroads, with ongoing reforms focused on transparency and legal certainty.   โ€ข Efficiency without compromise. Keeping proceedings cost- and time-effective remains one of the field's defining challenges.   โ€ข Broader awareness matters. When business professionals understand arbitration, contracts improve and disputes become easier to resolve.   Jake also touches on the growing importance of AI and digital competence for practitioners in the years ahead.   ๐—ฃ๐—น๐—ฒ๐—ฎ๐˜€๐—ฒ ๐—ป๐—ผ๐˜๐—ฒ ๐˜๐—ต๐—ฎ๐˜ ๐˜๐—ต๐—ฒ ๐—ฎ๐—ฟ๐˜๐—ถ๐—ฐ๐—น๐—ฒ ๐—ถ๐˜€ ๐—ฝ๐˜‚๐—ฏ๐—น๐—ถ๐˜€๐—ต๐—ฒ๐—ฑ ๐—ถ๐—ป ๐—ฆ๐˜„๐—ฒ๐—ฑ๐—ถ๐˜€๐—ต.   Read theโ€ฆ
