High-Profile Arbitration and the Press: What About Confidentiality? – Video Replay

Imagine you are an attorney representing a high-profile entertainer or an entity contracted with that entertainer. The parties are in a dispute that lands in arbitration. In this one-hour webinar, the panel will consider confidentiality obligations and press relations in the context of arbitration proceedings. You will learn from varying perspectives: the entertainment litigator, the arbitrator, the press relations manager, and the American Arbitration Association. Our panel will review a hypothetical arbitration in the entertainment world, where industry, business, and local media are salivating to learn more about the dispute. 

The panel will tackle such questions as:

1. How will you manage media relations before, during, and after the arbitration?
2. How do you handle a call from a reporter, asking for details that have not been made public?
3. How will you handle your client, who is eager to make its case on social media?
4. How does arbitrator-ordered confidentiality establish parameters for what you can and cannot say to the press during or after the proceedings?
5. How do American Arbitration Association guidelines and the Rules of Professional Conduct of the New York State Bar Association affect your decisions?
