International and domestic disputes are increasingly managed not just as legal events, but as strategic business risks. Today’s in-house counsel play a central role in shaping dispute prevention, arbitration strategy, and settlement discussions, often long before proceedings begin.

Participants will gain a practical understanding of how corporate clients measure success, including predictability, and alignment with commercial objectives. Designed for experienced arbitration professionals, this session offers an opportunity to better understand corporate decision-making and refine approaches to dispute prevention and resolution.

We look forward to engaging with CanArbWeek attendees during the Q&A portion of this CPR program.
