Drafting Submission Agreements: Practical Considerations (Webinar)

Co-sponsored by the Commercial and Federal Litigation Section and the Committee of Continuing Legal Education of the New York State Bar Association.

Arbitration offers numerous advantages over court litigation for appropriate cases, including specialized adjudicators, confidentiality, global enforceability, as well as remote access, and parties need not have executed a pre-dispute arbitration clause to access those advantages. This program will offer practical tips for drafting submission agreements so that a pending or existing dispute that is not subject to an arbitration clause can nevertheless be resolved in arbitration. Topics the program will examine include:

• – Appropriate jurisdictional language and carve-outs;
• – Arbitral administrators;
• – Arbitral Seats and governing law; and
• – Enforcement considerations
