The American Bar Association Business Law Section has released a new book, “Preventing the Dispute Before It Begins: Proven Mechanisms for Fostering Better Business Relationships,” that provides effective dispute prevention mechanisms to help control and eliminate contract disputes and successfully manage better business relationships.
To help lawyers take action to prevent disputes before they occur, this valuable guide provides proven prevention mechanisms to effectively avoid and prevent business disputes.
The book introduces the why and what of dispute prevention and includes a case study of an organization that is shifting from reactive dispute resolution to applying proactive dispute prevention practices. This guide will help lawyers better understand the detailed workings of prevention-focused mechanisms, which include formalizing and managing the business relationship. An overview of the mechanisms is discussed, why they are effective in preventing disputes and how organizations are putting them into practice.
The book has four authors: Kate Vitasek, distinguished fellow for the University of Tennessee’s Global Supply Chain Institute, Kirkland, Washington; James P. Groton, retired partner, Eversheds Sutherland, Atlanta, Georgia; Ellen Waldman, vice president of advocacy and educational outreach at the Institute for Conflict Prevention and Resolution (CPR), New York, New York; and Allen Waxman, of counsel, DLA Piper, New York, New York.
“Preventing the Dispute Before It Begins: Proven Mechanisms for Fostering Better Business Relationships” is available as a paperback for $64.95. To order, call 800-285-2221 or visit ShopABA.org.
