If you are responsible for negotiating and drafting agreements or for dispute resolution, you need to know whether arbitration is right for your business relationships and what makes a good arbitration clause. When a contracting party proposes an agreement containing an arbitration clause, will you know what to look for to protect your interests?
At this seminar, our panel of counsel will discuss the benefits of arbitration and provide tips for creating a well-drafted arbitration clause and avoiding the common pitfalls. Having a well-drafted arbitration clause is one step that can save you time, money, and aggravation in the long run. Panellists include Osler lawyers Mary Paterson and Eric Morgan and special guest speaker, William J. (Bill) Hartnett, Q.C., Assistant General Counsel, Litigation/Downstream, Imperial Oil Limited.
