Why you should attend this seminar
With litigation becoming increasingly costly, uncertain and destructive, it’s no surprise that many lawyers are actively considering ADR as part of their dispute resolution strategy. What’s more, both the Civil Procedure Rules and the Code of Conduct stress the need to consider ADR at the earliest opportunity.
