In this episode of A Matter of Reputation, Gus Sellitto speaks to Hugh Evans, former disputes partner at DLA Piper and now a senior adviser to Byfield’s Disputes and Investigations team, about how reputation has moved from the margins to the centre of litigation strategy.
They discuss how the landscape has changed over the course of Hugh’s career, from the rise of reputational risk after the financial crisis to growing court transparency and the use of AI in litigation. The conversation also looks at regulator scrutiny, non-financial misconduct and why the best litigators now need to think beyond the immediate case to the wider business, media and reputational consequences for clients.
