David Reif, FCIArb., Reif ADR, Branford

About the Program:
Arbitration purports to be “faster” and “more efficient” than litigation in resolving disputes. The program will discuss techniques that counsel and the arbitrator can consider that will help fulfill that promise.

You will Learn:

  • What are you giving up by arbitrating and why make that decision?
  • Everything begins with the arbitration clause.  What provisions will facilitate a later arbitration?
  • The formal rules of evidence do not apply in an arbitration.  What opportunities does this flexibility provide for reducing costs.
  • What procedural devices might the parties consider in order to make the hearing more efficient?
  • What kind of award do you want? How can you efficiently enforce it?
