Preventing the Dispute Before it Begins

Build Better Business Relationships

Learn how to manage conflict and leverage dispute prevention mechanisms.

Register today for this unique event, which will feature a fireside chat with the authors and in-house counsel, followed by a networking reception.

Preventing the Dispute Before it Begins: Proven Mechanisms for Fostering Better Business Relationships was recently published by the ABA Business Law Section to help practitioners understand and adopt more proactive dispute prevention practices.

This comprehensive guide explains 18 dispute prevention mechanisms that can help control and eliminate contract disputes and successfully manage better business relationships.

Why is this important?
Because building and maintaining strong business-to-business relationships can be key to generating value in many types of commercial ventures.

Attendees will leave this event with an understanding of how to identify sources of conflict early, as well as how to keep conflict productive and constructive rather than allowing it to become a destructive (and costly) dispute.

Many thanks to our generous host, CPR Institute law firm member DLA Piper.
