Successfully Navigating Arbitration Through Hearing and Award: ‘Interim’ & ‘Partial Final’ Awards, Remedies, Prevailing Party and Cost-Shifting Issues
JANUARY 10, 2012
12:00 PM – 1:15 PM Eastern Time
 Highly respected experts in the ADR field will discuss how to navigate your way through some of the critical issues that arise during the hearing and awards process of arbitration cases. Topics that will be covered include: how to conduct a “phased” hearing, duty to defend, and what arbitration rules may or may not constrain the arbitrator. In addition, find out what issues need to be considered in issuing any decisions or rulings prior to the Final Award; how to determine who is the “prevailing party” and what is a reasonable fee or cost shift to prevailing party. And, finally should you base your answers on state statutes or other laws? Attend and discover the answers to these questions and many more.Moderator:
