Fundamentals of Arbitration and Mediation

Legal, Contracts and Governance|2 days|Classroom or live online

Fundamentals of Arbitration and Mediation is built for delegates who need to be useful in this area quickly. It starts at first principles and works through corporate governance and contract lifecycle management without assuming prior specialist training. The programme exists because commercial teams routinely sign obligations that legal only sees after a dispute, and because capability in this area is usually built on the job with no structure behind it. Delegates leave able to work confidently with regulatory compliance, board procedure and employment law in their own organisation.

What delegates leave able to do

Put regulatory compliance on a footing they can defend to a reviewer, measured against established contract law principles
Spot where board procedure is failing before it becomes a finding
Explain employment law to someone who does not do the work
Make a decision about intellectual property without waiting for a specialist
