As we confront transformative political, economic, social and technological change, global organizations and communities must evolve in parallel to ensure the preservation of business relationships, manage risk, maintain profitability, and safeguard widespread access to justice. This can only be done by embracing that the profound impact these changes will have on life and business will necessitate a “new approach” to ensure commercial conflict settlement in the region and beyond.
Join JAMS, the Centre for Effective Dispute Resolution (CEDR), ADR Center, the International Association of Lawyers (UIA), the Weinstein International Foundation and an expert panel of legal and business leaders for the fourth installment of our Global Webinar Series Confronting Chaos, Embracing Conflict, with a focus on Europe. This program will explore the opportunities, challenges and trends supporting collaborative dispute resolution and management within the context of regional trade relationships, evolving ADR mechanisms and institutional developments in the region.
The outcome will be a call for stakeholders in all verticals of business, industry and the legal field to leverage chaos as an opportunity to build more robust systems and relationships that defuse conflict, embrace dialogue, and harness organizational capabilities.
