Arbitration and Dispute Resolution
Why Attend
Effective dispute resolution helps minimize the costs and adverse effects to relationships that often arise from commercial disputes.

This course will give participants an insight into dispute resolution from the perspective of a lawyer. Participants will gain an in-depth understanding of the main differences between the various dispute resolution techniques with a particular focus on arbitration, in order to reduce the likelihood of disputes leading to court cases.
