Program Originally Presented Friday, October 1, 2021

Hon. Diane M. Welsh (Ret.), who has conducted nearly 200 virtual mediations over the past 18 months, will guide a conversation with seasoned advocates from both sides of the bar discussing benefits, challenges, and trends regarding complicated multiparty disputes and virtual ADR, including:

• How are virtual mediation and arbitration processes suited to help resolve the rising number of highly complex multiparty conflicts and mass and class action disputes?
• In matters where there are tens, hundreds, or thousands of parties, what strategic factors and practical implications should advocates weigh when considering a virtual or hybrid dispute resolution process?
• Surprising successes and tough lessons from the virtual ADR trenches.
