From Shock to Strategy: Preparing for Repeat Geopolitical Crises
Geopolitical and economic shocks are no longer episodic interruptions. Since 2020, various industries have faced energy price spikes, disrupted trade routes and supply chains, as well as policy interventions such as tariffs and sanctions. Asymmetries in the climate and sustainability policies of the EU vis-a-vis the rest of the world have further increased tensions.
The next shock may look different, but it will test familiar pressure points: supply and JV contracts, pricing mechanisms, risk allocation, investment protections, and damages evidence.
Join Frontier at Berlin Dispute Resolution Days 2026 as our experts examine how geopolitical and economic uncertainty is reshaping commercial disputes. We’ll explore how volatility and policy interventions can trigger disputes, how losses can be quantified and mitigated, and what corporates, counsel and funders can do to prepare for the next crisis.
What we’ll cover:
New reality: Which geopolitical risks have become recurring commercial risks?
Dispute triggers: How market volatility and policy interventions trigger price review, hardship, force majeure, renegotiation,terminationand otherdisputes.
Quantification and damage mitigation: How losses should be evidenced and quantified amid thevolatile environment.
Dispute route: Which forum and procedure best fit disputes shaped by geopolitical and economic shocks?
Strategy: What corporates, counsel and funders can do before the next crisis
