Mandatory Settlement Conference Clause Samples

A Mandatory Settlement Conference clause requires the parties involved in a dispute to participate in a formal meeting aimed at resolving their issues before proceeding to litigation or arbitration. Typically, this conference is scheduled after initial attempts at negotiation have failed, and both parties must attend, often with their legal representatives, to discuss settlement options in good faith. The core function of this clause is to encourage early resolution of disputes, potentially saving time and legal costs by avoiding a full trial or arbitration process.
