Join JAMS neutrals, Hiro N. Aragaki, Esq., FCIArb and Hon. Margaret A. Nagle (Ret.), for an upcoming panel on the challenges of resolving and overcoming entertainment disputes.
Entertainment disputes can be a minefield for the uninitiated: High stakes, intense media scrutiny, larger-than-life personalities, and unique industry customs that often sit uncomfortably with formal legal rules. This distinguished panel of entertainment law experts and ADR professionals will consider some key challenges in the litigation of entertainment disputes and how mediation can be used to find meaningful resolutions. They will cover topics such as the emotional and psychological dynamics of settlement, difficulties that commonly arise when the law or the written documents do not accurately reflect the parties’ actual agreements and expectations, and how to design a mediation process to best address these and other challenges.
