Prior Conference Clause Samples

The Prior Conference clause requires the parties involved in a dispute to meet and confer before initiating formal legal proceedings. Typically, this means that before filing a lawsuit or arbitration claim, the parties must attempt to resolve their differences through direct communication, often in the form of a meeting or written correspondence. This clause is designed to encourage early resolution of disputes, reduce unnecessary litigation, and promote efficient problem-solving by ensuring that parties explore settlement options before resorting to formal legal action.
