Patrick Welsh and Paul Giancola present a practical introduction to arbitration in the healthcare context, focusing on how arbitration clauses are used, negotiated, and construed under Arizona and federal law. Attendees will gain insight into the relevant laws, the rulesets of several major arbitration bodies, key considerations for effective drafting, as well as strategic considerations unique to healthcare disputes—such as discovery, confidentiality concerns, how an arbitration differs from a court case, the expectations of arbitrators, and mediation and alternative arbitration methods. Designed for lawyers who advise healthcare organizations, physicians, and related entities in Arizona, the session emphasizes real-world application, risk mitigation, and best practices for using arbitration as an effective dispute resolution tool.
Patrick Welsh is assistant general counsel at HonorHealth, where he handles health care transactions and compliance, as well as real estate and construction issues. He is author of the forthcoming legal treatise The Law of Renewals, to be published by the Arizona State Bar Association. Prior to joining HonorHealth, Patrick was in private practice, representing health care organizations and individual practitioners in litigation and arbitration.
Paul Giancola is Of Counsel with Snell & Wilmer, LLP.

Paul also has extensive experience as a mediator and arbitrator.
