Don’t Leave it to Midnight: Choosing a Dispute Resolution Clause When Drafting Your Contract

An Opportunity to Meet Familiar and New Faces
December 2, 2021 at 5:30PM

 

You asked for it and we listened! Join SABA Toronto for its first ever hybrid in-person or online webinar, offered in partnership with Arbitration Place. This unique program will offer insights from leading practitioners on choosing an alternative dispute resolution clause when drafting your contract. Moderated by Annie Tayyab, our panelists will cover:
  • the reasons why one might include an arbitration clause when drafting a contract, and what to think about when drafting it;
  • whether it may be beneficial to include mediation in a tiered dispute resolution clause; and
  • where and how expert determination can be beneficially used.
Afterwards, join us for some much-missed in-person mingling at Arbitration Place!
* If you attend in person, please bring proof of vaccination. Please also note that in-person spots are limited so we ask that you only register for an in-person spot if you intend to attend.
