CLE Events | Webinar Date: Tuesday, September 25, 2018
NAM (National Arbitration and Mediation) neutral, the Honorable Peter B. Skelos, will participate in a panel discussion presented by Crowell & Moring LLP and The Association of Corporate Counsel New York City Chapter (ACC-NYC). The 2-hour Signature CLE presentation, Friend or Foe: Tailoring Your Agreements Accordingly, will take place Tuesday, September 25th at the firm's Manhattan office, 590 Madison Avenue, 22nd Floor, New York, NY.
Agreements are a key aspect of any business relationship, but what happens when the parties no longer agree? Preparing for that contingency when drafting agreements can make all the difference. Should you include mediation provisions, or focus on jurisdiction and venue provisions for litigation as your exclusive means for resolving a dispute? Understanding the strategic goals of a business relationship can help you decide on the most advantageous way to resolve any disputes that arise and ensure that important customer and supplier relationships continue for the long-term success of your business.
Judge Skelos will be joined by Crowell Moring attorneys, Sarah Gilbert, Esq., Partner, Anne Elise Herold Li, Esq., Counsel and Paul Pollock, Esq., Partner.
