Thank you

Thank you for joining us today.

Description

One of the biggest risks in most business, commercial, or real estate agreements is the risk of dispute and costly, protracted litigation.

Arbitration agreements are one of the primary methods by which this substantial risk of loss is contained. Rather than the parties resorting to costly litigation, they are required to seek resolution of their dispute before a neutral arbiter, whose decision in the matter is final and cannot be litigated.

Though these agreements are effective mechanisms for dispute resolution and cost containment, they are also highly controversial.

This program provides a practical guide the law governing arbitration agreements and drafting their major provisions.
