Drafting Arbitration Clauses: Advanced Considerations for In-House Counsel
Join us In-Person only (NYC- Times Square) at 6:00 PM ET on Wednesday, May 8, 2024, as a distinguished panel of ADR professionals, including Hon. Ariel E. Belen (Ret.), FCIArb and Lisa D. Love, Esq., FCIArb of JAMS, and Javier Fernàndez-Samaniego, Esq. of Osborne Clarke, lead an advanced workshop on how to help draft bespoke ADR clauses that serve the business needs and strategies of in-house counsel and their corporate stakeholders. This interactive discussion will provide counsel with practical tips, strategies, and illustrative case studies designed to circumvent the pitfalls that may occur when ADR clauses are relegated to an afterthought once the business terms of contracts are complete.
Discussion topics include:
- Drafting major ADR provisions: primary considerations when choosing, for example, the “seat” of the arbitration, the law that will govern, and other integral clauses
- ADR clauses: The “good, the bad and the ugly” – how to avoid common drafting defects
- Case studies: navigating dispute resolution clause negotiations
- Leveraging resources: utilizing the model clauses and drafting guides of major arbitral organizations to accomplish your objectives
