Seattle: The General Counsel View of Early Dispute Prevention

Please join us for a substantive panel discussion followed by a networking reception as the CPR Institute visits Seattle for the first time and launches its new Seattle chapter.

This is an in-person event open to dispute resolution professionals.

The General Counsel View of Early Dispute Prevention: The Precursor to ADR

Companies have long known that the least expensive conflicts – in terms of both time and money – are the ones that don’t become full-blown disputes. The interest in and use of B2B dispute prevention and early resolution mechanisms is growing in the domestic corporate legal community. This panel features in-house counsel from major corporations discussing their views of these techniques, as well as their expectations for the role(s) outside counsel can and/or should play in this environment.

Speakers:
Cynthia Randall, Vice President and Deputy General Counsel - Litigation, Microsoft
Laura Robertson, Vice President and Deputy General Counsel, Global E&P and HSE, ConocoPhillips
Nancy Dowling, General Secretary, Danone North America
Michael Paisner, Partner, Perkins Coie LLP
