Hear from the Lady Mayor of the City of London
We are delighted that Alderwoman Dame Susan Langley, the 697th Lord Mayor of the City of London, will be our guest speaker. Alderwoman Langley is the third woman to hold the office, and the first to be styled “Lady Mayor”. During her year as Lady Mayor, Alderwoman Langley will act as a spokesperson for the City, leading overseas business delegations to key international markets on behalf of the UK financial and professional services industry. In the role she will meet government representatives, alongside business leaders and policy makers both at home and abroad. She will look to strengthen economic ties with the UK, identify new business opportunities and promote the UK as a top global destination for foreign investment.
 

This introduction course is aimed at anyone involved in international trade who needs to understand customs. The course will cover the role of HMRC and practicalities such as goods wholly produced in the UK, use of documentation including the EUR1, free circulation, AEO, VAT responsibilities, and the impact of Incoterms®. The course also provides an introduction to customs entries, classification of goods, valuation of goods on import duties, taxes and the Union Customs Code (UCC).

Disputes are an inevitable feature of international trade. Even well‑drafted commercial contracts can break down, leaving businesses needing to enforce their rights against trading partners.

Putting an alternative dispute resolution (ADR) mechanism in place is much like taking out an insurance policy: you hope you never need it, but when issues arise, it can save your business considerable time, cost, and disruption in the long run.
 
The good news is, unlike an insurance policy, parties can simply decide to include a dispute resolution clause in their contracts, ready to be relied upon if something goes wrong.

The London Chamber of Arbitration and Mediation (LCAM) is the LCCI’s dedicated dispute resolution body, supporting businesses of all sizes with effective and flexible ADR solutions.
 
In this webinar, we will cover: 

• Why alternative dispute resolution matters for businesses;

• What arbitration and mediation are, and how they work; and

• How to draft an effective dispute resolution clause in a commercial contract.
