Featuring speakers from Bombardier, GE, Siemens, Shell and DuPont alongside leading international dispute resolution lawyers, ICC’s 2nd International Mediation Conference, set to take place in February 2011, will combine theory and practice to deliver results by means of an interactive user-to-user approach.

Titled “Win-Win Strategies: Tools for corporate dispute management” the business-oriented conference will focus on the implementation of in-house dispute management systems for business to business conflicts and will bring ICC’s Mediation Week 2011 to a close.

The conference will take place at ICC headquarters in Paris on 10 February 2011.

From revealing the business value of an in-house dispute management system to providing guidance on what to consider when drafting contracts, the conference provides users with a tailored approach and underlines ICC’s commitment to host first-class events in the field of international commercial dispute resolution. The conference will also highlight the merits of mediation – one of the dispute resolution services offered by ICC under its ICC ADR Rules – as an efficient procedure for the resolution of business conflicts.

The do’s and don’ts when drafting dispute resolution clauses for international contracts will be contemplated in small working groups. Panellists will present a case study to introduce participants to tools for early case assessment and the event will culminate with an outlook on the future of dispute resolution.

In-house counsel, members of corporate management, dispute resolution practitioners and attorneys in law firms are advised to book early following the success of the inaugural International Mediation Conference, which took place at the beginning of 2010 and sold out early on.   

The ICC Mediation Week will feature from the 4–9 February 2011 the 6th ICC International Mediation Competition, ICC’s biggest educational event of the year. The internationally-renowned moot is the only international mediation moot worldwide. The 2011 Competition will see 58 law and business school teams from around the world test their problem-solving and advocacy skills while competing against each other in mock mediation cases.
