Winning the Clause Game: Navigating Dispute Resolutions with Confidence
Mon, Jun 24, 05:30 PM - 07:30 PM (EDT)
Midtown Manhattan (New York)
30 attendees
Are you a start-up founder or company executive navigating contract negotiations? Picture this: you're in the final stages of drafting a contract, and suddenly, your counterparty insists on adding a clause that says, "All disputes under this agreement shall be settled by arbitration." What do you do? Should you accept it or negotiate the terms?
Join us for an engaging session where we'll break down your options for resolving disputes, including arbitration. You'll get practical tips for drafting dispute resolution clauses in commercial contracts, and we'll cover:
- What is arbitration, really?
- How does arbitration differ from litigation? What are the pros and cons of different dispute resolution methods?
- Key considerations for drafting dispute resolution clauses in your contracts.
- What types of disputes should these clauses address?
- Special considerations for agreements involving international parties.
This event is free for approved participants, but spots are limited. Be sure to RSVP soon to secure your place. Don't miss out on this chance to gain valuable legal business insights and make your contracts work better for you!
This event is brought to you by Singapore International Arbitration Centre and Singapore Global Network.
