BCBA CLE Webinar: Drafting and Using Arbitration Clauses: Tips from a Litigator and Arbitrator

Please join us for a live CLE webinar on the Alternative Dispute Resolution topic Drafting and Using Arbitration Clauses: Tips from a Litigator and Arbitrator, presented by Paul Schwartz of Shoemaker, Ghiselli + Schwartz LLC.

Arbitration has the potential to be quicker, more efficient, and less expensive than traditional litigation. It also offers parties the opportunity to tailor their dispute resolution process. Too often, however, parties insert off-the-shelf arbitration clauses into their contracts that not only fail to achjeve arbitration’s potential, but also create new issues for litigation. This CLE will provide practical tips and resources for drafting and litigating arbitration clauses. The CLE will be of interest to both business/contract attorneys who draft and negotiate arbitration clauses and litigators who implement, enforce, and/or challenge arbitration clauses.
