Moving a Case from the Trial Court to Arbitration in the Era of COVID-19

This presentation is an IADC and CPR Joint Webinar

The COVID-19 Pandemic is causing unprecedented disruptions and impact to the world’s economy and many business relationships.  In addition, this global crisis has resulted in the slowing down of and, in many instances, completely halting the trials of pending court cases.  This consequence of the pandemic exacerbates an already significant backlog of cases in many courts.
To avoid further delays in the resolution of your legal dispute, lawyers should consider converting a pending court case to an arbitration.  The IADC and its strategic partner, the International Institute for Conflict Prevention and Resolution (CPR), have assembled a team of legal professionals to present this webinar on how to make this forum switch.  This webinar will allow you to hear from trial attorneys, an associate general counsel, and a neutral who will:

•    Offer effective suggestions on how to approach the topic with opposing counsel of moving a case from litigation to arbitration, and highlight the benefits of resolving a case now as opposed to months down the road when jury trials may resume;
•    Discuss the mechanics of moving the case from the courthouse to arbitration where discovery may still need to be conducted or dispositive rulings need to made;
•    Outline the potential language of an arbitration submission agreement that complies with the U.S. Federal Arbitration Act and International Arbitration Rules; and
•    Share their experiences on how to achieve successful results in moving the case from the judge to a neutral.

Webinars are complimentary.  Please note that the IADC does NOT apply for CLE Credit for its Webinars. However, attendees are welcome to apply for and/or claim credit as their jurisdictions allow. Please contact your state accrediting agency for state-specific requirements and rules.
