In this second episode of our series of commercial litigation update podcasts, we look at the impact of the COVID-19 pandemic on commercial litigation in the English courts including: the move to remote hearings; other ways in which the litigation process has been affected; and the sorts of commercial disputes the crisis is likely to give rise to in the near term and further down the track. This episode is hosted by Anna Pertoldi, who is joined by Maura McIntosh and RIchard Mendoza.
