RICHARD BYRNE, ESQ. TO PRESENT TO CLM'S NEW YORK CITY CHAPTER ON HOW TO ACHIEVE RESOLUTION AND AVOID PITFALLS DURING THE MEDIATION PROCESS

NAM (National Arbitration and Mediation) neutral, Richard P. Byrne, Esq., will present to the Claims and Litigation Management Alliance (CLM) a 1-hour continuing legal education program entitled, How to Achieve Resolution and Avoid Pitfalls Commonly Faced During Mediation. The presentation will take place at NAM's NYC office on Monday, September 24th from 7:00 p.m. – 8:00 p.m.

While the majority of disputes resolve at Mediation, there nonetheless remain those that hit an impasse.  At times, the lack of success stems from individual issues unique to the matter at hand.  Often, however, the failure to achieve resolution flows from more general causes which can be avoided if adequate thought is given to these potential pitfalls in advance of the session.  During this interactive presentation, Mr. Byrne will discuss how to prospectively identify the leading reasons why Mediations can fail, rather than looking back on the causes after the fact.

The CLM is one the largest professional associations in the insurance industry with a membership of more than 45,000 professionals working in claims resolution and litigation management. Founded in 2007, CLM Members and Fellows benefit from networking events, continuing education programs, publications, and a wide variety of other industry resources.

Mr. Byrne has successfully mediated issues in a wide variety of specialty areas, including commercial disputes, employment discrimination claims, employment contract disputes, wage and hour/FLSA claims, construction matters, complex personal injury and property damage claims, insurance and reinsurance matters, risk transfer disputes and life, health and disability claims. For the fourth consecutive year, he was voted one of the Top 3 Mediators in the country by the 2018 National Law Journal Annual Reader Rankings Survey, and for the third year in a row he was named a National Law Journal 2018 Alternative Dispute Resolution Champion, as part of a select group of only 46 nationwide. Mr. Byrne was also voted one of the Top 10 Mediators by the 2018 New York Law Journal Annual Survey for the fifth straight year. Mr. Byrne writes regularly on ADR topics and recently authored Construction Claims: A Mediator's Perspective which was published by the American Bar Association in 2018 as a chapter in the book Resolving Insurance Claim Disputes Before Trial.
