As family structures evolve, the legal complexities surrounding the breakdown of those relationships do, too. Our speakers explore the nuanced intersection of estates and family law, where disputes arise over wills, trusts, entitlements, and capacity issues and lawyers are called upon to use ADR to lower costs and avoid court. Learn how you can apply ADR techniques to navigate ethical and professional obstacles that these sensitive files present. This program is a must-watch for family or estate lawyers, mediators, arbitrators, and collaborative/legal professionals looking to expand their ADR toolkit to help their clients.
- Hear a debate on whether to choose ADR or the court process
- Get insights on the law on mediation/arbitration in family and estates law
- Understand how the judiciary and arbitrators deal with these issues
