2011 CPR ANNUAL MEETING

GLObAL PRObLEM SOLvING: NEw TOOLS & SOLUTIONS

The Intercontinental barclay Hotel, New York City January 13-14, 2011

The recent economic downturn, rising litigation and increased corporate challenges have confirmed that dispute prevention and management are essential elements in every successful business plan. Join CPR and our esteemed colleagues for the 2011 Annual Meeting as we explore “Global Problem Solving: New Tools & Solutions.”

We are excited about the exceptional program that we have assembled this year. Thursday’s keynote speaker will be BP’s Group General Counsel Rupert Bondy, who will discuss the unique challenges faced by general counsel addressing mass claims issues. On Friday, we are pleased to welcome renowned game theorist and author of The Predictioneer’s Game, Prof. Bruce Bueno de Mesquita.

This year’s program will depart from our usual structure and will feature an interactive workshop on a controversial mass claims issue led by Deborah Greenspan, former Deputy Special Master for the September 11 Victims’ Compensation Fund Program. Other highlights include legal arguments on Economical Litigation Agreements and Third Party Financing before a “Mock Tribunal” of former judges and an Ethics panel that will answer your pre-submitted disclosure dilemmas and questions. Our presenters and speakers will include an outstanding group of leading General Counsel, top attorneys, and international arbitration and mediation experts. As in previous years, we will begin with CPR’s popular General Counsel panel which will address how their companies have adapted their ADR strategy to new business realities.

CPR is known for providing executive-level networking, the highest quality examination of ADR theory, and the most practical take-away learning in the field. This year is no exception.

Attendance will be limited and the event will sell out! Please register early.
