Dispute Prevention Committee

The Dispute Prevention Committee brings together creative transactional lawyers and dispute-oriented counsel to create next and best dispute prevention mechanisms aimed at preserving business relationships by identifying conflict early and preventing it from ripening into full-blown disputes, and driving adoption of a dispute prevention culture across industries. To date, the Committee has operationalized these concepts by creating the first ever Model Dispute Prevention and Resolution Provisions and a Dispute Prevention Pledge for Business Relationships and has assembled a blue-ribbon panel of dispute prevention neutrals. The Committee will continue to educate constituents and industry on dispute prevention strategies and create tools to facilitate adoption of these strategies. An objective of the Committee is to also help break down the silos between transactional attorneys and litigators and support their role in (i) crafting the right ADR provisions in contract formation as well as (ii) implementing contracts and managing business relationships.
