CPR IN EUROPE

The CPR Institute's European presence dates from the early 1990s when a group of corporate and legal leaders from Europe was convened to form the CPR European Advisory Committee. Under the leadership of Hans Peter Frick, former General Counsel of Nestlé, the group organized the First European Congress on ADR in 2004, followed by four annual conferences around Europe. The European Advisory Committee worked on a number of other initiatives including building CPR’s Panel of Neutrals in Europe; advising the European Commission on its Directive on Mediation and its Code of Ethics for Mediators; and drafting the CPR Reinsurance Industry Protocol.

Today, CPR continues to serve as a leading independent resource in Europe helping businesses and their legal advisers, whether in-house or external counsel, prevent and resolve commercial disputes more efficiently and cost-effectively.

CPR carries out its mission in Europe with the help of its European Advisory Board (EAB), a body composed of CPR member representatives based throughout Europe who are invited to serve three-year terms on the EAB. Within the EAB, representatives from leading European companies and law firms work collaboratively together to provide strategic direction to CPR’s activities in the region. The EAB develops resources, shares knowledge and best practices, and networks with respect to dispute prevention and resolution. The EAB has produced resources including:

• The Corporate Early Case Assessment Toolkit for European Parties
• The European Mediation & ADR Guide

In addition to several meetings of the board per year, the EAB also organizes events for the public throughout Europe. European Advisory Board Co-Chairs are Vanessa Alarcon Duvanel (King & Spalding) and Torsten Bartsch (formerly with Caterpillar), Secretary is Sara Little (Orrick), and CPR Staff Liaison is Knar Nahikian, Vice President - Global Initiatives.
