ANNUAL MEETING

THE DISPUTE RESOLUTION DIVIDE Harmonizing Global Approaches

DIAMOND SPONSORS


THE DISPUTE RESOLUTION DIVIDE HARMONIZING GLOBAL APPROACHES We live in interesting times. With the growth of global trade in the post-war era, we saw the growth of efforts to harmonize approaches to dispute resolution – and, in particular, arbitration – around the world. The New York Convention provided the foundation for success on that front – a foundation upon which UNCITRAL Model Laws and Rules for commercial arbitration and conciliation have built, thus paving the way for growing uniformity in institutional approaches to dispute resolution around the world. Yet, this very success has produced a backlash. Treaty-based arbitration is being challenged as a violation of state sovereignty, ethical concerns are being raised in both investorstate and broader commercial arbitration contexts. As the use of mediation grows, calls for national and international standards raise concerns about preserving the flexibility that is widely viewed as a hallmark of conciliation/mediation processes. Join CPR and our esteemed colleagues for the 2016 Annual Meeting as we examine these and other issues and the way forward in global economy facing increasing resistance to the very concept of globalization.

Join Us in New Orleans, Louisiana CPR’s 2016 Annual Meeting promises to be the latest in a series of exceptionally engaging events. Once again, meeting panelists and participants will include an outstanding group of General Counsel, leading practitioners, noted academics and jurists, and expert international arbitrators and mediators. The opening keynote address will be by Gov. Howard Dean, former governor of Vermont, presidential candidate, Chair of the Democratic National Committee and noted political commentator. The panels program on Day One will begin with “Are We Killing Mediation?” a panel continuing the robust debate at AM15 on changes in mediation practice and their impact on mediation effectiveness. The next panel, “Why I ‘Hate’ Arbitration”, will be a lively discussion of reasons counsel avoid and/or delay dispute resolution. Following our morning dissecting issues and challenges in dispute resolution, the afternoon of Day One will begin with “Creative Approaches to Aligning Interests in Dispute Resolution”, a panel focused on the innovative approaches our neighbors in Brazil and Canada are using to enhance dispute resolution processes and outcomes. The panels on Day One will conclude with “Redefining Winning – CPR Hot Topics”, addressing emerging issues and solutions in dispute resolution around the world. On the evening of Day One, CPR is pleased to announce that it will honor Monsanto Company and Scott Partridge, the company’s Vice President of Global Strategy, with the inaugural Inspiring Innovation Award in recognition of Monsanto’s development

and implementation of a unique, business-led dispute management process creating a powerful, proactive industry-wide dispute identification and resolution program. The program on Day Two will begin with a keynote address by Kenneth Feinberg, noted mediator, Special Master for victim compensation funds, including the September 11th Victim Compensation Fund and One Fund Boston, and author of What is Life Worth? and Who gets What? Day Two will continue with breakout sessions including an IP panel addressing Patent ADR around the world, a Healthcare panel addressing dispute resolution in the context of the industry consolidation and realignment that have followed in the wake of the Affordable Care Act, and an In-house panel addressing practical and strategic issues involved in arbitrator selection. The morning with continue with “The Rising Global Debate Regarding Arbitration Ethics”, a spirited discussion of the nature and source of concerns and a range of proposals that have been made to “solve” the problems. Day Two will conclude with two CPR perennial favorites. First, CPR’s Business Roundtable, during which leading General Counsel from around the world will address strategic issues they face as they implement a thoughtful approach to dispute resolution. Second, we will once again convene a dynamic and interactive ethics panel addressing key issues faced day-to-day in dispute resolution.

9:10-9:30 am CEO Welcome Noah J. Hanft CPR Institute, President and CEO

9:30-10:30 am Are We Killing Mediation? In the U.S. alone, approaches to mediation vary sufficiently so that it is not uncommon to hear references to “East Coast” style, “West Coast” style, and “the California experience.” Global practices introduce even more variation. Practices such as mandatory mediation, avoidance of joint sessions, and limiting mediator interaction with parties have given rise to enormous debate about whether certain practices reduce the efficacy and/or professionalism of mediation. This panel will address these issues in the classic CPR interactive style, drawing from the experiences of the panelists and the audience. Moderator Hon. Layn R. Phillips CEO, Mediator & Arbitrator Phillips ADR Enterprises Los Angeles, CA

1:00-2:30 pm The Rising Global Debate Regarding Ethics in International Arbitration Concerns have been widely expressed about the conduct of parties and counsel in international arbitration. As international arbitration has expanded geographically, with more diverse counsel from different jurisdictions following discrepant legal practices, many have perceived a lack of sufficient guidance or agreement as to what constitutes proper conduct, possibly leading to an unlevel playing field or even an “ethical no-man’s land.” This panel considers recent initiatives to address these issues. Moderator John J. Buckley Jr. Partner Williams & Connolly Washington, D.C. Speakers Felix Dasser Partner Homburger Zurich, SWITZERLAND Mark Friedman Partner Debevoise & Plimpton New York, NY and London, UK Roland Schroeder Senior Counsel, Litigation & Legal Policy General Electric Fairfield, CT Edna Sussman Principal Independent Arbitrator & Solicitor Sussman ADR, LLC New York, NY

“I am sure AM16 will prove to be a productive and inspiring meeting. Both Carlos (Fluor’s Chief Legal Officer) and I are active members in CPR (Carlos on the Board of Directors, me on the Executive Advisory Board), and we have found that the exchange of ideas and views on dispute resolution and alternatives have been rewarding. The opportunity to meet with many other corporate counsel and officers has been equally rewarding in the creation of relationships throughout the business world – US and International.” Paul Bruno Managing General Counsel Fluor Corporation

2:30-4:10 pm Ethics This panel will facilitate an interactive audience discussion of ethics issues, including mediator obligations in levelling the playing field, third party funding, and arbitrator sanctions. Discussion will be based on case studies prepared for this session and the audience will use audience response devices to engage in real-time analysis of the issues. Moderator Richard F. Ziegler New York Managing Partner Jenner & Block LLP New York, NY Speakers Eric D. Green Principal Resolutions LLC Boston, MA Noah J. Hanft CEO International Institute for Conflict Prevention & Resolution New York, NY
