Arbitration advocacy requires unique skills that you can’t learn in court.
In this specialized program, Alberta's leading arbitrators and practitioners will share strategies and techniques, discuss arbitration jurisprudence updates, and provide top tips for effective preparation. You will receive best practices for navigating traps and pitfalls, issues relating to arbitration agreements, jurisdiction, limitations, multiparty proceedings, and costs.
Join co-chairs Mike Theroux and David Tupper and walk away with the skills and knowledge you need to navigate your next arbitration with confidence.
Connect with colleagues and faculty over lunch and at the post-program cocktail reception, both of which are included with registration!
