CLE Webinar: Negotiating and Litigating Arbitration Clauses

CLE Events | Webinar Date: September 24, 2024 at 12:30 pm ET

NAM neutral, the Hon. Peter B. Skelos (Ret.) and Forchelli Deegan Terrana, LLP partners, Lisa M. Casa, Esq., Danielle B. Gatto, Esq., and Bret L. McCabe, Esq. will discuss the provisions that should be addressed in any arbitration clause. The overall focus will be to avoid the possibility of the arbitration clause being challenged in court or before an arbitrator. Topics will include, among others, choice of law, venue and the location of the arbitration, administered versus self-administered arbitrations, single versus panel arbitrations, selection of the panel, confidentiality, the importance of reciprocal provisions, streamlined discovery, protective orders, default provisions and a discussion of the impact of the agreement on the arbitrator.

Our esteemed panel will provide tips on crafting an arbitration clause with specific terms on professional responsibility, learn the importance of streamlining the resolution of any dispute under the agreement, and how best to create a clause specific to the business transaction that will ultimately save time, reduce costs, and avoid any uncertainty in the arbitration process.
