AMINZ is pleased to offer this seminar on disputes in the rural sector as part of the Institute’s continuing professional development programme. With significant changes occurring in the rural sector during the year such as increased payouts to dairy farmers, transmission line easements and the focus on climate change, this seminar will provide an update on dispute resolution processes and practices.

“I recommend this seminar to all rural dispute resolution practitioners and other active land management professionals who have involvement with the electricity sector, cross cultural negotiations with Treaty claims, forestry assets and sharemilking disputes. AMINZ has targeted the programme to represent the wider range of work that our members and others are now involved with.

Dispute Resolution for Corporate Lawyers and Clients: A practical Overview and Drafting Tips and Pitfalls.

NOTE: This seminar has been postponed until later in 2008

The resolution of commercial disputes is often governed by a dispute resolution (“DR”) clause contained in the underlying transaction documentation.  The decision whether or not to include such a clause, and if so, what it will contain and how it is to be drafted, is frequently made by corporate lawyers and their clients, without input from dispute resolution specialists. 

Because of this, it is crucial that corporate lawyers and their clients have a fundamental understanding of the various methods available for resolving disputes, when they should be used, when they should be avoided, and how they should be documented.
