Moderator: Timur Pakay, Rothman Institute of Innovation & Entrepreneurship Fairleigh Dickinson University Silberman College of Business 

Panel discussion with privately held and family business CEOs Adenah Bayoh, Chris Schaeffer, Jeanne Cretella, and business dispute attorney Richard Lambert, Esq. (Covering real estate, franchise, energy and restaurant business sectors.)

The family business owners will discuss the ways in which they run their operations and will share valuable insight into the ways in which they manage risk and mitigate conflict. The discussion will explore the ways in which mediation can assist and provide value to this process. These concepts will be reflected in the family business owner’s personal stories addressing their own unique risk and conflict assessment processes, as well as management narratives through the lenses of the operators of family-run companies.

The program is sponsored by The Justice Marie L. Garibaldi American Inn of Court for Alternative Dispute Resolution, New Jersey State Bar Association Section of Dispute Resolution, and Hudson County Chamber of Commerce. The Justice Marie L. Garibaldi American Inn of Court for Alternative Dispute Resolution will provide 1.5 Continuing Legal Education (CLE) credits.
