Anatomy of an Arbitration Clause: Beyond the Basics

In too many transactions, the dispute resolution clause is treated as mere boilerplate. In fact, dispute resolution clauses present an opportunity for lawyers to add significant value to their clients' transactions. Giving thought to issues such as the types of disputes likely to occur, where those disputes will arise, which party is most likely to be claimant and whether the disputes may implicate third parties will assist the drafter in determining the arbitral scheme that best fits the client's interests and expectations, provided the drafter understands the different options available.

This course explores the intricacies of drafting an enforceable arbitration clause, including such topics as joinder, consolidation, arbitrator selection in multiparty disputes, the availability of interim relief and the possibility of appeal. At the conclusion of the course, transactional lawyers will be able to draft enforceable clauses and trial attorneys will be armed with an arsenal for challenging the poorly drafted clause.
