Using Mediation to Your Advantage in a Difficult Economy

Event | 04.28.09, 12:00 AM UTC - 12:00 AM UTC

Crowell & Moring LLP and Insight Partners invite you to join us for a complimentary CLE-accredited presentation “Using Mediation to Your Advantage in a Difficult Economy” which will be followed by a cocktail reception to allow for ample networking. Attendees will include senior executives from the Financial Services and Insurance/Reinsurance industries.


Presentation
Mediation is an under-utilized tool. As the economy remains weak, clients are looking for alternatives to traditional litigation. In addition to reducing legal fees, a skillful approach to mediation can yield the best overall outcome for the client. Regardless of the economic environment, mediation offers a degree of privacy and flexibility that public litigation cannot.


Crowell & Moring and Insight Partners want to give you the tools that will provide you with a meaningful competitive advantage the next time you step into a mediation room.


Presentation topics include:


· Why mediation is under-utilized and how to use that to your advantage
· Key considerations for choosing the best mediator
· Preparation models that will give you a strategic advantage
· “Best practices” advice from the experts
· Q&A session with industry colleagues

"The Tide is High: New Guidance on Sea-Level Rise," The Bar Association of San Francisco

Jon Welner will be interviewing Larry Goldzband, the Executive Director of the San Francisco Bay Conservation and Development Commission (BCDC), on the Commission’s new plan to prepare the SF Bay Area for sea-level rise. BCDC is the agency responsible for permitting all development on the shoreline of San Francisco Bay. On December 5, 2024, the BCDC adopted the Regional Shoreline Adaptation Plan (RSAP). The RSAP is a region-wide plan for the San Francisco Bay shoreline that guides the creation of coordinated, locally planned sea level rise adaptation actions that work together to achieve a regional One Bay Vision. This includes BCDC’s guidelines for how local governments must meet the requirements of SB 272, a new State mandate that requires all local governments along the shoreline to prepare a Subregional Shoreline Adaptation Plan by 2034.
