{3 minutes to read} Alan Gettner and I recently published an article in the Fall 2018 issue of New York Dispute Resolution Lawyer that described a simple method of using a mediation clause in a contract to avoid costly litigation. The gist of it is a relatively short “notice and disclosure” provision in the contract that requires parties to:
- Notify the other side of any dispute before commencing a lawsuit.
- Provide relevant documents and information about the dispute.
