Title: Alternative Dispute Resolution: Obtaining Maximum Benefit From the Process

Description:

Alternative dispute resolution (ADR) proceedings, particularly mediation and arbitration, are now a common alternative to litigation. In light of the expense of trial and the potential risks associated with jury verdicts, ADR may be particularly attractive in employment disputes. This presentation will discuss AHLA's ADR rules that are important for parties to understand when handling a case in ADR, and review how and when it makes sense to consider modifying the standard rules. We will also address the efficacy of ADR in resolving class actions or multi-party disputes. Finally, from the perspective of a mediator or arbitrator, we will discuss common mistakes made by parties in mediation and arbitration proceedings—and how to avoid them.
