Event Synopsis:

Alternative Dispute Resolutions (ADR) is a means of resolving disputes outside the courtroom. It includes negotiation, conciliation, evaluation, mediation and arbitration. Mediation is also an informal alternative to litigation. Mediation is performed by trained negotiators who unite opposing parties to settle differences. In contrast, arbitration is a simplified version of a trial involving examination by simplified rules of evidence and an arbitral panel. The expansion of international trade has led to a wide variety of international disputes. Resolving such disputes can be time consuming, frustrating, and costly. ADR has been used increasingly to resolves many of disputes in a shorter period of time with lower cost.

In this two hour, Live Webcast, a notable panel of professionals assembled by The Knowledge Group will review and discuss the various methods of Alternative Dispute Resolution, review its application to recent cases, and provide advice on the design and implementation of effective programs.

Key topics include:

· Alternative Dispute Resolution (ADR): An Overview
· Tips for Parties and Advocates in Mediation
· Drafting an Effective Arbitration Clause
· Tips for Advocates in Arbitration
· Enforcing an Arbitration Award
· Recent Case Law on Arbitration
