[Webinar] Making UK Disclosure Work: The Evolving Reality of Practice Direction 57AD

Practice Direction 57AD has now been in force long enough for its impact to be felt across the Business and Property Courts, and its impact in practice continues to be debated.

While the regime was intended to reduce cost, improve proportionality, and encourage cooperation, many legal teams report increased complexity, operational pressure, and uncertainty in practice. The Disclosure Review Working Group’s recent practitioner survey has further highlighted the gap between the regime’s objectives and day‑to‑day experience.

About the session

This moderated panel discussion brings together experienced practitioners and technology specialists to explore the evolving reality of PD57AD, including whether the regime is achieving its aims and how disclosure is being managed in practice today.

Join experts from Greenberg Traurig, Irwin Mitchell, and Array UK for a practical discussion on what is working, what is not, and how technology, including AI and GenAI, is shaping disclosure in real matters.

What the panel will explore

• Has PD57AD delivered on its original objectives, or introduced new challenges in practice?
• A practical review of recent significant cases, judicial guidance, and judgments shaping disclosure under PD57AD
• How mechanisms such as Initial Disclosure, the List of Issues, and the Disclosure Review Document are being used in real matters
• The growing role of technology, including TAR, AI, and GenAI, in disclosure exercises

A live Q&A will follow.
