CPR's Cost-Saving Tool Box for Corporate Leaders

 

The single biggest impact to your company’s bottom line can be achieved
by reducing the total cost of conflict in your organization.


Top 10 Ways to Reduce Costs

  1. Build conflict prevention systems into your practice area.  See a sample for employment-related disputes
  2. Use early case assessment to find resolution opportunities as quickly as possible.  CPR is currently drafting an early case assessment protocol. Watch this website...It will be available soon!              
  3. Draft more effective dispute resolution clauses
  4. Adopt CPR’s Protocol on Disclosure of Documents and Presentation of Witnesses in Commercial Arbitration to reduce or eliminate the high cost of discovery.
  5. Choose non-administered arbitration to save the cost of the administering institutions and to increase control and flexibility.
  6. Mediate and be an effective mediation advocate.                     
  7. Consider hiring separate settlement counsel
  8. Find high-quality and trusted mediators and arbitrators without incurring any additional search or outside counsel cost.
  9. Use CPR’s 20 Specialty Panels to quickly find the right neutral.
  10. Read Alternatives to keep up-to-date on the latest innovations in the field.

CPR can also provide your law department with ADR training, specific clause drafting assistance, and customized training on getting the most out of mediation.
