Negotiating Arbitration Agreements Cost of Compromise

DOWNLOAD REGISTRATION

Negotiating a robust arbitration agreement is essential to efficiently resolving disputes, otherwise resources may be wasted on debating its terms, without even addressing the merits of the underlying dispute. So, what should you include in an arbitration agreement, and equally important, exclude? John will discuss the critical elements of arbitration agreements, including institutional model clauses and ad hoc (bespoke) agreements: what are the pitfalls, and what is best practice.
