Vested Business Relationships: Designing Strategic Contracts That Prevent Disputes Before They Start

This program is open and free only for CPR Members and CPR Neutrals. It is sponsored by CPR Institute's Dispute Prevention Committee.

What if the most powerful dispute prevention tool isn’t a better dispute management clause, but rather a flexible contract framework that helps strategic partners align using a formal relational contract with a win-win outcome-based economic model?

Kate Vitasek, University of Tennessee Distinguished Fellow and architect of the award-winning Vested® business model, will share how strategic partnerships can be structured to align interests from the outset using a formal relational contract coupled with a win-win outcome-based economic model.

Joining Kate is Fredrik Nikolaev, EY’s Global Leader for Vested, who will offer a practitioner's perspective on how EY has adopted the Vested model internally and is guiding some of its largest global clients through the shift to transformational win-win agreements.
