COVID-19 has
injected an insolvency component into numerous situations and
disputes. This Bankruptcy Section kickoff program is
designed to provide attendees with basic information about the use of mediation
to help solve intractable issues arising in consumer matters. As a
cost-effective and voluntary process, mediation provides parties and counsel
with an opportunity to resolve matters outside of the traditional adversarial
nature of the legal system. In certain situations, mediation may lead to
outcomes that are not typically obtainable within an adjudicated proceeding such
as improved personal and business relationships. The focus of this session
will be on understanding the fundamental components of mediation including when,
where and how to use it to achieve client objectives with a particular focus on
its use in insolvency settings.
This program is free for members
and non-members alike. If you have any questions, please email Doug Newton at
