GLOBAL POUND CONFERENCE (GPC) SERIES

THE BUSINESS RATIONALE FOR SPONSORSHIPThe GPC Series is currently scheduled to take place in approximately 40 cities and more than 31 countries. It will involve thousands of informed stakeholders participating in person or via the Internet. The Series has the capacity to stimulate real, positive changes in how disputes will be handled in the 21st century, enabling sponsors to show their leadership and engagement in improving access to justice and the resolution of civil and commercial dispute resolution systems worldwide. This affects all types of disputants and stakeholders, including multinationals, small and medium-sized enterprises, entrepreneurs, law firms, court houses, arbitration and mediation centres, NGOs, governments and regulatory agencies around the world. The GPC Series is an effective branding opportunity both locally and globally to promote corporate governance, adoption of more appropriate dispute resolution systems, better risk management and corporate social responsibility issues, and for organisations seeking to develop data-driven “best practice” policies. Four of the main benefits that will accrue to GPC Sponsors are:

1. Enhanced public reputation in leadershipSponsoring the GPC Series is essentially about leadership in promoting access to justice and providing greater informed choices to disputants. Among the themes to be discussed during the GPC Series are corporate governance, legal and social responsibility issues (including the OECD Guidelines for Multinational Enterprises) and challenges facing access to justice in emerging markets and low- and middle-income countries. The GPC will give Sponsors a highly visible platform for positively influencing these issues in the eyes of both the public, users and key regulators in the different markets where each GPC event will be held.

2. Positive perceptions of customers, vendors, and other stakeholdersSponsoring the GPC series will convey a strong public message that sponsoring entities have a strong sense of fiduciary responsibility (limiting expenditures of non-producing resources), and appropriate case management and dispute resolution process design strategies, which are pragmatic and case-specific. Sponsors through their visible support will also be able to communicate that effective cost reductions and better time management is wired into their ethos, and that they expect providers and advisors of ADR services to energetically devise strategies to end disputes on acceptable terms as quickly and cost-effectively as possible.

3. Cost savingsPublished data indicates that companies known to be “dispute-wise” (i.e. known to be systemic and thoughtful in their approaches to dispute resolution) tend to have higher P/E ratios than those that litigate to the end regardless. Sponsors will be able to leverage their GPC participation to compare and review best practices and to ensure that cutting-edge cost-saving processes are implemented in their own structures, thus enhancing their own know-how and value, while reducing legal spend.

4. Rule of law developmentAs the GPC Series will also take place in a number of emerging markets and low and middle income countries, it will provide Sponsors with an opportunity to help shape vital changes in places where operations are currently challenged by an absence of adequate rule of law. Access to justice is a key role for ADR in a global economy and flattening world, be it in sophisticated but expensive legal jurisdictions, or in countries with struggling judicial systems. The GPC will serve as a platform to explore and develop together with all concerned stakeholders how ADR can best be used to fulfil this role and how use of ADR can be encouraged for public benefit.

FOUNDER SPONSOR RECOGNITION

SPONSORSHIP PAYMENT ARRANGEMENTSThe Central Organizing Group will determine the course of payments and draw-downs depending on the cash flow needs of the Series in order to operate the number of local events approved by it and possibly as seed capital to trigger local organizing committee events or assist in retaining key venues. Sponsors needing to accrue their payments to 2017 for annual budgeting purposes will be able to do so in part. Leading international academic institutions providing high level expertise to the Central Organizing Group (e.g., data analysis services) may be classified as Global Partners by allocating academic personnel and students to help analyze the data or any other assistance that may help to achieve the stated goals of this project.

GLOBAL, REGIONAL & LOCAL PARTNERSGlobal and Regional Partners are leading international or regional organizations who wish to support the GPC Series, but not financially. Local Partners are national or local stakeholder organizations involved in ADR who wish to actively support the GPC Series. Global, Regional and Local Partners are expected to assist the Central Organizing Group and Local Organizing Committees in finding appropriate speakers and participants in accordance with the attendance ratios required, and assisting in ensuring that users and key leaders who use and pay for ADR services are invited to speak and/or attend. Global, Regional and Local Partners will be expected to send targeted mailings to their members to attend local events and to encourage participation and support by other local and regional stakeholders, whether in person or online. Global and Regional Partners will be recognised by the Central Organizing Group and listed on the GPC Series’ website, in mailings, and in the programmes of all local events, as well as on all final reports. Local Partners will be recognised by Local Organizing Committees and will be identified in local publications and materials, as approved by the Local Organizing Committee.
