Description
The program will address common problems arising in multi-party mediations, such as multiple defendants facing allocation disputes, multiple plaintiffs trying to negotiate individual claims within a single settlement fund, or multiple insurance carriers within a single insurance tower. Mediations can sometimes come to an early stalemate because multiple defendants face the challenge of how the settlement would be funded, tensions rise in the context of plaintiffs negotiating among themselves, or carriers within an insurance tower assert varying coverage positions.
Presented by and open to members of the ADR Section – join today!
