The Association of Corporate Counsel (ACC) is the world's largest organization serving the professional and business interests of attorneys who practice in the legal departments of corporations, associations, nonprofits and other private-sector organizations around the globe.
Please join ACC Northeast & JAMS for a Lunch & Learn in their offices on May 8th.
Attendees will be provided with lunch while JAMS Neutral, Jonathan Fitch, along with Boston Consulting Group's (BCG's) Senior Legal Counsel, Lindsay Kosan, provide insiders' perspectives on the importance of contract drafting—specifically, key considerations for ADR clauses. Jonathan and Lindsay will review and discuss real-world scenarios that they have encountered as mediators, arbitrators, or litigators, where a well-drafted ADR clause made a difference, or where a poorly written one created challenges.
Open to 20 attendees, so register early in order to guarantee your spot.

“Mediation: Use It or Lose It – Don’t Waste Your Company’s Resources with an Ineffective Process”
Mediation can be a powerful tool for resolving corporate disputes efficiently—but only when used effectively.

Participants will gain insights on selecting the right mediator, structuring a productive process, and ensuring mediation aligns with business objectives.
