The New York State Bar Association Dispute Resolution Section (NYSBA DRS) and Dispute Prevention Committee Present Conflict Management: Preventing the Dispute Before It Begins

In some cultures, we have been conditioned to believe that conflict is a “bad” thing to be avoided at all cost.  When conflicts cannot be averted, we resort to litigation or some adversarial process to resolve differences.  Dispute Prevention (DP) provides another way to preserve relationships, while saving money and time. DP has been around for some time and has many forms, but it is becoming more well known as an effective, important, and lucrative area of Dispute Resolution.

In this program, Ellen Waldman, one of the leading minds on Dispute Prevention, will put conflict into context and will differentiate between conflicts and disputes to show how DP can cultivate and enhance harmonious relationships in business, construction, workplace, family, estate, etc.

If you are looking for innovative ways to advise your clients and augment your legal or ADR practice, this program is the place to start.
