Taming Your Bear of a Case: ADR Solutions For Complex Cases From Contract to Final Resolution

Taming Your Bear of a Case: ADR Solutions For Complex Cases From Contract to Final Resolution. This is the title of the program we will be presenting November 16, 2012 at the 2012 MCLE Spectacular by on by the Contra Costa Bar Association. My co-presenters are Stuart J. West, Esq., Hon. Wayne Brazil (Ret.), and Alexander (Lex) Brainerd, Esq.

We will explore the spectrum of alternative dispute resolution options available to address the particular needs of complex commercial and IP disputes. Topics will include best practices for mediation and arbitration, plus suggestions when employing less common processes such as mock exercises and early neutral evaluation. We will offer tips on how to tailor ADR clauses to create an efficient resolution process before a dispute arises, tips on how to time mediation strategically including early dispute resolution considerations, and various other methods for controlling costs.

I look forward to seeing you there.
