Terri Krivosha and Melissa Muro LaMere to Co-Present Webinar for Association of Corporate Counsel Small Law Department Committee
August 18, 2021
Terri Krivosha, a mediator and partner in Maslon's Corporate & Securities Group, and Melissa Muro LaMere, a partner in the Litigation and Labor & Employment groups, will present a webinar Aug. 18 for the Association of Corporate Counsel Small Law Department Committee on the benefits of early mediation in commercial litigation. In the session, titled "Settling Disputes Through Early Mediation: A Framework for Success," Terri and Melissa will share guidelines to evaluate whether or not early mediation should be used, the type of mediation and mediator best suited for the matters, and how to maximize the mediation process to help ensure a positive outcome. As companies spend more and more resources on litigation, identification of matters that are ripe for early resolution is key.
The 60-minute CLE program will include participant breakout sessions to discuss two hypothetical cases and determine whether either should be mediated early—with conclusions shared through interactive polling.
The event is open to all. Register at: "Settling Disputes Through Early Mediation: A Framework for Success," Association of Corporate Counsel.
