The recent UCL settlement involving 6,000 students is only just the beginning. Claims arising from disruption to teaching and university services during the COVID-19 pandemic are now being threatened against 36 UK universities on behalf of over 170,000 students.
As the first limitation deadlines approach in September 2026, claimant activity is accelerating — and institutions are coming under increasing legal, financial and reputational pressure.
Join FTI Consulting, Hogan Lovells, and Anneli Howard KC from Monckton Chambers, for a focused webinar on how universities can assess their exposure and respond effectively.
What we will cover:
- The evolving UK litigation landscape: including key risks, claimant strategies, defence options, and lessons from US university litigation
- Assessing exposure and using data effectively: early approaches to disclosure, data strategy and financial risk
- Delivering a coordinated response: managing large-scale claims, aligning legal and communications strategy, and protecting institutional position
Who Should Attend:
In-house legal counsel, risk managers, and senior university and higher education administrators.
