Banking and Financial Services Committee

The Banking and Financial Services Committee meets periodically to consider possibilities for the use of alternative dispute resolution to resolve anticipated disputes among financial institutions.   It has sponsored presentations on Bi-lateral Investment Treaties, the “mediation window,” the Economical Litigation Agreement, ADR in bankruptcy cases, as well as on the subprime market and the role of ADR in private party litigation involving hedge funds.  At the request of the Committee, CPR has developed a Panel of Distinguished Neutrals specialized in resolving complex disputes arising between banking, accounting and financial services institutions.  Included on this Panel are attorneys with extensive financial background and expertise in resolving disputes which arise in the context of real estate, accounting, mergers & acquisitions, hedge funds and other types of corporate deals.

The Committee is currently chaired by Pamela Corrie of GE Capital Americas and José Morán of Baker & McKenzie.

CPR regularly convenes this committee of in-house counsel, attorneys, and leading ADR practitioners to analyze, establish benchmarks and publish material on issues that are critically important to business practices.

The CPR Liaison is Olivier P. André, Special Counsel & Director of Dispute Resolution Services.
