A good arbitration clause can give your company a strategic advantage in case a dispute arises, while a bad clause can result in years of litigation over the meaning of the clause, before you ever get to the substance of the dispute. In the recently released On Demand Seminar, “Arbitration Clauses: Pros, Cons, and Drafting Tips”, David Zaslowsky, Chairman of the Litigation Department of the New York office of Baker & McKenzie, thoroughly details the relative merits of arbitration vs. litigation.
