Overview 

This program will familiarize you with the technical and legal rules for drafting a properly structured dispute resolution clause free from defects that could block the enforcement of the clause when a dispute arises or invalidate an arbitration award or settlement agreement after proceedings begin.  

The importance of the program stems from the importance of alternative dispute resolution, a range of alternative methods for achieving justice in commercial disputes. The dispute resolution clause is the cornerstone on which the proceedings rest, and in order to be effective when a dispute arises, it must be properly formulated when the contractual relationship between the parties is established.  

Whether you are a lawyer, a contracts counsel, an arbitrator, a mediator, or a conciliator, this program concerns you first of all, meaning anyone interested in laying the proper foundations for contractual relationships in the business sector.
