Savvy dispute resolution is a critical tool for both in-house lawyers and outside counsel. In the wake of the global pandemic, not only has the disruption triggered new and challenging disputes, but the U.S. justice system has slowed dramatically in resolving new and existing litigation.
While U.S. jury trials were grinding to a halt, arbitration practitioners and institutions took up the challenge to continue resolving disputes, swiftly transitioning to new practices such as virtual hearings.
Is arbitration the solution for new cases? Can it work for existing cases that are at a standstill?
Topics include:
- The impact of COVID-19 on U.S. courts.
- The development by the global arbitration community of best practices for today’s proceedings.
- Strategies for efficient dispute resolution in the new normal.
- Insights into the role of funding in facilitating dispute resolution.
