Beware the Champagne Clause: When the Effervescence Fades, It May Just Be Pathological.
by Donna Ross* Good drafting makes for good contracts and good business relationships. Yet these principles are often forgotten when it comes to drafting dispute resolution clauses. They are often an afterthought and an inopportune one at that, as once the rest of the contract has been agreed, the parties prefer celebration to discussing what might go wrong. For this reason, the champagne clause, sometimes called an eleventh hour or midnight clause, is more often than not unclear, incomplete or [...]

The Value of Mediator Soft Skills to Modern Commercial Practice
Greg Rooney by Greg Rooney* Mediation has an identity issue - but it’s not its fault. Mediators - and the profession they practise called mediation - merely sit as innocent bystanders observing how the modern collaborative interconnected economy has challenged the identity and, in some cases, the very existence of the established professions and commercial and social institutions. We now live in a time where a world of connectivity and fluidity has replaced the 20th- century Newtonian [...]
