The 8th edition of the Dispute Resolution in M&A Transactions INTERNATIONAL CONFERENCE is a well-established biennial forum dedicated to the practical realities of post-transaction disputes. The conference brings together an international community of dispute resolution and transactional lawyers, arbitrators, in-house counsel and M&A professionals to discuss how M&A disputes are handled in arbitration and related proceedings.

The 8th edition will take place in Warsaw, Poland, on 21–22 May 2026, at the Polish History Museum, a newly opened cultural institution located within the historic Warsaw Citadel. As one of the organisers, ICC Poland is pleased to announce the event and warmly invites you to join the conversation.

The 2026 programme will focus on current developments in post-M&A disputes, evolving advocacy standards and decision-making in arbitration, as well as valuation and damages issues. It will also address the broader ecosystem surrounding arbitration, including the role of state courts, witness examination, document production, and cross-tradition friction points, as well as explore the broader geopolitical and legal implications of the Ukraine–United States mineral resources agreement.

The event is organised by the ICC International Court of Arbitration, ICC Poland, and GESSEL, with the support of an outstanding group of international law firms, advisers, a premium VDR provider, and arbitration institutions, including Clifford Chance and Dentons as Grand Partners, as well as BLSK Legal, CMS, FORDATA Virtual Data Room, MGW Corporate Consulting Group, and Moore Polska as Partners.

Ticket sales are now open, with Early Bird pricing available until the end of March. More details and registration are available at www.disputeresolutionmaconference.com.

Some conversations are simply worth being in.
