More than 95% of all cases filed will be resolved voluntarily, outside of court, and without a determination by a judge or a jury. As such, civil defense lawyers cannot afford to overlook the rapidly evolving role of alternative dispute resolution (ADR) and artificial intelligence in today’s litigation landscape. This seminar is designed to equip practitioners with practical strategies to resolve cases more efficiently, reduce litigation costs, and achieve better outcomes for their clients. Through a dynamic combination of foundational insights and advanced techniques, attendees will gain a deeper understanding of mediation and arbitration, including how to leverage AI tools responsibly and effectively throughout the process. From managing complex ESI issues to navigating ethical considerations and arbitration nuances, this program offers actionable guidance from experienced practitioners and industry leaders. Whether you are looking to sharpen your negotiation skills, stay ahead of emerging trends, or enhance your value to clients, this seminar provides the knowledge and connections necessary to succeed in an increasingly ADR-driven legal environment.
