James MacKinnon to speak at Solomonic x Burford webinar

James Mackinnon, Director at Burford Capital will speak on the webinar panel “Settle smarter: How data and valuation reframe high stakes disputes” jointly hosted by Solomonic and Burford. The session will take place on October 17 at 12:00pm BST via Zoom.
Misjudging a high stakes dispute can lock corporates into years of litigation, spiraling costs and reputational disrepair. Yet too often, decisions rely on instinct rather than hard data. This webinar will expound on how data, valuation methodologies and behavioral science should play a crucial role in decision making and explore the role of the lawyer in translating legal risk into business metrics.
Our expert panel will explore:
Data-driven insight: how predictive analytics can reveal likely win rates, settlement windows and claim length trajectories.
Valuation methodologies: tools to assess the real value of dispute and guide “how much” and “when” to settle.
Commercial and corporate dynamics: factors beyond the courtroom that can bring parties to the table — or push them further apart.
Bringing together perspectives from across the litigation ecosystem, spanning elite law firms, behavioral science and data analytics, speakers will discuss practical strategies for those navigating high-stakes commercial disputes. If you’re advising clients, managing litigation or making board-level decisions, this is a conversation you cannot afford to miss.
James will be joined by Alexander Oddy (Herbert Smith Freehills Kramer), Fiona Huntriss, (Pallas Partners) and Dr. Henry Stott, (Dectech (Decision Technology)).
