WEBINAR - Mediation Before Litigation? Yes, You Can. Dealing with Multi Party Complex Business Disputes

ACC Northeast, together with JAMS, invite you to dial-in for this important webinar.

Litigation can be expensive, distracting, inefficient way in which to resolve business disputes. This webinar will present techniques to resolve complex matters efficiently and effectively through formal mediation before litigation. By listening to this webinar, you will learn advanced techniques to maximize your chances of a mediated settlement of a multi party, heavily technological business dispute while avoiding the expense and disruption of protracted litigation. This dynamic webinar replicates the format of the November webinar by utilizing a detailed hypothetical (based on an actual case from the life sciences and healthcare arena) to highlight the principles of pre-litigation mediation in all types of complex business disputes. Key messages will include the value of viewing mediation as a multiple phase process, particularly in the pre-litigation context; robust preparation with the multiple parties involved and the mediator, including detailed definition of possible claims, information sharing facilitated by the mediator (such as the exchange of documents and involvement of internal and possibly external experts on technical issues to substitute in part for extensive -- and often overly broad -- litigation discovery); tips on the best structuring of multiple party in-person session or sessions; and, if necessary, follow-up based upon a "road map" created based on the preparation and in-person meetings, including the use of limited expert determinations of arbitration to resolve thorny technological questions.
