The October CLE Luncheon of the Coral Gables Bar Association features Ricardo Cata, a mediator and arbitrator with Upchurch Watson White & Max. Ricardo's talk is titled "The Mediation Option in International Commercial Arbitration" and is scheduled for 11:30 a.m. to 1 p.m. Wednesday, Oct. 21, 2015, at Seasons 52, Coral Way 321 in Coral Gables. He will discuss the proposal that mediation should be considered a viable option or supplemental process, if not the preferred procedural environment, to resolve international business disputes. Commercial entities involved in cross-border disputes already prefer the predictability, “neutrality”, process, and enforceability of international arbitration over litigation, Ricardo says.
