CLE Programs
February 6, 2023
Agenda:
1:00 p.m. to 2:00 p.m.: Dispute Prevention
How Dispute Prevention Initiatives Work: Parties can incorporate prevention in their projects in many different ways. In any case, these efforts should mesh with the types of businesses and cultures involved. Perhaps the most obvious approach is to introduce a “standing neutral” (or “relationship facilitator”) into the relationship. Parties should use a standing neutral in any relationship that involves a significant investment or one of strategic importance. The neutral’s role is to ensure that the parties surface issues promptly, have a forum for addressing them, and resolve disputes efficiently. Dispute prevention agreements should include several important elements. First, the parties should acknowledge the importance of maintaining a strong ongoing relationship and that open channels of communication are critical to success. Ongoing communication needs to focus on how the collaboration is working and what circumstances must be addressed to avoid serious problems.
2:00 p.m. to 3:00 p.m.: Cybersecurity – The Threats, The Issues, The Solutions
The New Wave of Technology Disputes and Best Practices for resolving them:
This presentation is sponsored by the new DRS Technology Committee, which was formed because disputes involving technology have become one of the largest – and fastest growing – categories of ADR proceedings. The program will include leading experts in the field and will be moderated by the Committee co-chairs, Paul Gupta and Debbie Reperowitz. The presentation will cover new challenges from AI-driven and other cybersecurity attacks, as well as the growing pains of the fintech ecosystem. The faculty will also discuss resolving technology disputes, including techniques for separating reliable evidence from “junk science.” This program will satisfy the new requirement for one CLE credit hour in the new Cybersecurity, Privacy and Data Protection category.
3:00 p.m. to 5:00 p.m.: Anti-Bias Training
