Agency for Dispute Resolution - Association of Corporate Counsel Alliance Partner

Welcome,
ACC Members

Here at the Agency, we recognize that many in-house counsel think of alternative dispute resolution as a tool only to resolve litigation. Having a systemic ADR program, though, unleashes its true power and has helped many companies avoid and drive down litigation and indemnity costs, while allowing counsel to uncover opportunities and become internal corporate champions.

We have two core ADR offerings that help the legal department evolve into a driver of value as opposed to simply a cost of doing business:

Streamline Settle

ACC members receive a 10% discount

For corporations dissatisfied with the traditional cost and speed of resolving litigation, the Agency’s simplified, risk-free, and fixed-fee litigation management solution unlocks shareholder value, frees up cash, and increases stock price – and maintains confidentiality.

Most companies are surprised at what our Business Intelligence unit uncovers when we do due diligence on their contingent liabilities; increasing social connectivity has empowered sophisticated investors to analyze how those liabilities can impact the viability of a company.

For ACC members, we prepare a free confidential dossier that details exactly how much your bottom line is being negatively impacted by contingent liabilities and dormant cases.

Negotiation Nexus

ACC members receive a 5% discount

Successful lawyers recognize the importance of negotiation and settlement in any matter. Some negotiation skills are intuitive; however, there are new and innovative techniques that can and must be learned if maximum effectiveness is to be achieved.

Our Negotiation Nexus course is designed and taught in a way unlike any other corporate training programs: the interactive approach was developed specifically for legal professionals by faculty at the nationally recognized Straus Institute for Dispute Resolution.

Participants develop a framework that goes beyond the use of common easily disarmed tactics, and learn to settle disputes in a way that is efficient and financially advantageous to the corporation.
