Our special guest this week, Mark Danis, Vice President - Deputy General Counsel The Clorox Company, will Present on:
Mediation Through the Eyes of In-house Counsel
For the in-house lawyer, a successfully mediation requires choregraphing a host of company stakeholders, balancing enterprise and business interests, and then navigating the players at the mediation theater. Each case is different, and there is not a one-size fits all approach. But knowing and planning for the key hurdles in advance of the mediation can dramatically improve the chances of success and build confidence in the business leaders as to the process. During this presentation, I'll provide an insider's perspective on how a company lawyer approaches a mediation and what is top-of-mind for me before, during, and after a mediation that centers my discipline.
