How Entertainment Attorneys Can Win in Arbitration
About the Program

Arbitration has become an increasingly common forum for the resolution of entertainment industry disputes. Yet many experienced entertainment attorneys can feel as much of a fish out of water in arbitration as Axel Foley did in Beverly Hills Cop or as Ted Lasso does on a British soccer field. This program is designed for transactional and litigation attorneys who negotiate entertainment deals and litigate entertainment disputes. The program will teach attendees:

  • Best practices for drafting arbitration provisions for entertainment industry agreements to insure confidential, cost-effective, and efficient resolution of entertainment disputes, as well as to gain an advantage for clients and achieve worldwide enforcement of final arbitration awards.
  • Practice tips for trying and winning your entertainment arbitration case, and how and why it differs from trying a case in court.
  • Special ethical and practical challenges that may come up in entertainment arbitrations and how to deal with them.
  • How to make arbitration an even better experience for attorneys and clients than court litigation.
