Smart Women Arbitrate at Katten Muchin on October 27
On October 27, WLALA’s new ADR Committee, Katten Muchin Rosenman LLP, and the American Arbitration Association will jointly host Smart Women Arbitrate (or do they?). The event will commence at 6:30 p.m., with cocktails and networking at Katten Muchin Rosenman LLP in Century City. The panel discussion will take place between 7 and 8:30 p.m., followed by another half hour of networking.
We are incredibly excited to have a talented panel talking about the many ways in which the arbitral forum can be transformed to serve as many client interests as possible, including economies of time and money without sacrificing your own or your clients’ justice issues. The panel will also address diversity and inclusion in the ranks of arbitrators.There are few events that bring together the wisdom, knowledge and experience that populates this panel, including Kathy Bryan, President and CEO of the International Institute for Conflict Prevention and Resolution; Michael Powell, Vice President of the American Arbitration Association; Gail Migdal Title, Managing Partner, Katten Muchin Roseman LLP Los Angeles; Deborah Saxe, Partner, Jones Day; Greer Bosworth, Assistant General Counsel, Meggitt-USA; and Deborah Rothman, AAA complex commercial arbitrator and officer of the College of Commercial Arbitrators. The Chair of the new WLALA ADR Committee, Victoria Pynchon, will moderate, and a light supper will be served.
This event brings all of the potential arbitration players into a single room ~ litigators Title and Saxe; arbitrator Rothman; in-house counsel Bosworth; ADR think-tank CEO and former Motorola in-house
counsel Bryan; and industry insider Powell. Attendees will have the opportunity to ask the questions to which they most need answers to generate satisfied clients, win the arbitration, and create a private ADR world that is as diverse as the people it serves.
You won’t want to miss it.
Victoria Pynchon sits on the WLALA board as chair of the ADR Section and is the co-founder of She Negotiates Consulting and Training. Ms. Pynchon also writes a monthly column for Forbes Woman and is a contributor to the Forbes On the Docket Legal Blog.
