Conference Highlights

The APIL International Injuries Conference is the UK’s premier annual event dedicated to cross-border personal injury law. Bringing together leading claimant lawyers, barristers, insurers, and expert practitioners from across Europe, the conference provides an essential forum for exploring the latest legal, procedural, and practical developments affecting international injury claims.

Held at the Marriott Regents Park Hotel in London, the event combines expert-led presentations, case analysis, and networking opportunities designed to support professionals working in an increasingly complex international legal landscape. Delegates will gain valuable insight into jurisdictional disputes, applicable law, enforcement issues, and the practical realities of representing injured clients across multiple legal systems.

With contributions from experienced specialists and thought leaders, the conference offers attendees the opportunity to deepen their technical knowledge, exchange best practice, and stay informed about emerging trends and challenges in international personal injury litigation.
