Normally, I am deeply suspicious of anyone who quotes Winston Churchill. However, Churchill aptly once said that “true genius resides in the capacity for evaluation of uncertain, hazardous and conflicting information”.

With this welter of information comes a greater capacity for uncertainty, hazard and conflict. One of the challenges facing disputes lawyers during the next 10 years will be how to navigate that maze and ensure the most pertinent information is brought before the courts in a cost-effective way.
