Description

Mediation and Arbitration Best Practices is an authoritative, insider’s perspective on successfully using alternative dispute resolution to settle disputes. Featuring partners and chairs from some of the nation’s leading law firms, these experts guide the reader through the intricacies of resolving disputes outside of litigation, discussing the various components of ADR, the value and role of an attorney, and tactics for settling disputes more efficiently. From evaluating the benefits of ADR to examining present and future trends, these top lawyers give tips on understanding a client’s goals, deciding when to use arbitration or mediation, formulating a strategy, and preparing a case. Additionally, these leaders reveal their strategies for planning defensively, managing expectations, avoiding risks, and keeping abreast of change. The different niches represented and the breadth of perspectives presented enable readers to get inside some of the great legal minds of today as these experienced lawyers offer up their thoughts around the strategies for success within this rapidly developing area of law.

Inside the Minds provides readers with proven business intelligence from C-Level executives (Chairman, CEO, CFO, CMO, Partner) from the world’s most respected companies nationwide, rather than third-party accounts from unknown authors and analysts. Each chapter is comparable to an essay/thought leadership piece and is a future-oriented look at where an industry, profession, or topic is headed and the most important issues for the future. Through an exhaustive selection process, each author was hand-picked by the Inside the Minds editorial board to author a chapter for this book.
