About
Are your reinsurance arbitration strategies increasing your chances for success
while minimizing unnecessary time and expense?
The reinsurance arbitration process is not the streamlined and relatively
informal system that functioned in the past. Dispute resolution has become
increasingly contentious, expensive and time consuming in recent years and
there is no sign that this trend will be reversed. Extensive discovery, testimony
and evidentiary battles require you to sink greater resources into your arbitrations
than ever before.
There is talk of reforming the system, but as long as arbitration remains
the predominant mechanism for partners seeking to resolve business disputes,
an up-to-the-minute understanding of how to navigate the reinsurance arbitration
process is absolutely necessary for your reinsurance business.
To guide you through this challenging environment, American
Conference Institute has developed a publication from The
4th Advanced Guide to Reinsurance Arbitration to provide
you with the most current strategies for prevailing in reinsurance arbitrations.
Presentations from an outstanding faculty of industry leaders has been assembled to give you practical
guidance on:
- What you should consider when selecting an arbitrator and when to
challenge
- Using the organizational meeting to create a roadmap to successful dispute resolution
- Third party discovery in reinsurance arbitration
- Improving arbitrations
