Like a good umbrella that protects you in the rain, a good arbitration clause can protect you and prevent costly and time intensive litigation. Attendees will learn from experts from the bench and bar how to achieve more effective and efficient results with the right clause.

By looking in the rear view mirror,  the panel will examine how to avoid disputes by including the right language in arbitration provisions.

Topics include (but not limited to):

  • Pre-Arbitration Mechanisms
  • What to Specify in a Clause
  • Providing for Expedited Disputes
  • Being Overly Precise
