Clause Encounters: Mediating Disputes Before They Head to Arbitration
CONCURRENT SESSION 2
Friday, March 27 11:00am-12:15pm
Session Description:
Commercial contracts increasingly include mandatory arbitration clauses—but that doesn’t mean mediation is off the table. In fact, it may be the smartest place to start.

In this dynamic and practical session, Aric will explore how mediators can effectively navigate the unique challenges posed by arbitration clauses in commercial disputes. Aric will also examine when and how mediation can be used to resolve conflicts before arbitration begins—or even after it's underway.
