Litigation Management and Alternative Dispute Resolution (ADR)

For contract managers, managing disputes effectively is a critical skill set that minimizes business disruption and controls costs. This course moves beyond basic breach of contract to cover the full spectrum of dispute resolution, from internal claims management to full-scale litigation and, crucially, the use of Alternative Dispute Resolution (ADR). Participants will learn to strategically manage litigation counsel, understand the discovery process, and master the art of drafting effective negotiation, mediation, and arbitration clauses. The emphasis is on proactive contractual design that steers disputes toward efficient, cost-effective, and commercially sensible resolutions.
