In this tight labor market, many companies are wisely doubling-down on their diversity and inclusion focus.

ACC Northeast and JAMS invite you to this webinar to hear from practitioners on the key issues and disputes that in-house counsel face on a daily basis, and how various ADR strategies can help overcome barriers at any stage of conflict, and help minimize and/or eliminate them, without involving lengthy litigation or disruptions.
Beyond the more well- known offerings (i.e., traditional mediation and arbitration), we will explore other ADR tools. Depending on the dispute, in some situations other approaches are more appropriate, effective and/or economical. Plus, these options customized for specific industries, can prevent conflicts before they arise or provide more flexible, scalable and creative resolution paths when conflicts do emerge. Our panel will also explore how to effectively draft ADR contract provisions and how the right language, whether non-binding or binding, can also be a useful deterrent to the escalation of disputes in some situations.
Register below. Dial-in information will be provided within 24 hours of the webinar.
