What do parties to a large, complex case need and want? The stakes in the dispute arc high. So are the stakes involved in the choice of dispute resolution technique. How these conflicts are handled can mark the difference between effective management of an organization and the loss of opportunities and resources. Similarly, parties to a large, complex transaction face the same issue in drafting their agreements-the need to provide for a procedural means of resolving a potential dispute without the need for litigation.
