Barcelona meeting – April 2026
Last Friday, Fieldfisher Spain had the pleasure of hosting an inspiring Ecomlex gathering that brought together great minds and even better conversations.
The day kicked off with a thought-provoking session by Justo Hidalgo on “The next generation of AI systems: agentic AI – opportunities and risks.” His insights sparked meaningful discussions around how these emerging systems will reshape the way we work, make decisions, and potentially manage risk in a positive and controlled way.
Before dinner, we also had the opportunity to experience the city’s architectural heritage with a guided visit to one of Gaudí’s masterpieces: Casa Batlló, Gaudí Barcelona—an inspiring setting to continue conversations in a truly iconic space.
A big thank you to everyone who joined and contributed to making it such a memorable experience and to Carlos Perez and Fieldfisher Spain for hosting.

Oslo meeting – April 2024
The Oslo meeting was hosted by Norwegian Ecomlex member, Advokatfirmaet Selmer on 12 April 2024 in Oslo.
The first item on the agenda was a seminar titled: “Why large IT-projects fail”. The event was well-attended, including by some of Norway’s leading IT suppliers and largest companies.
The audience experienced insightful presentations on why complex IT-projects fail and learned about a different delivery and contractual model, that is designed to avoid project failure and costly litigation. Key topics of discussion focused on the outcomes of recent large IT-project disputes in the Norwegian courts and how the contract and delivery models can contribute to a successful project.
Thank you to Ståle Hagen for an excellent day.
