Overview (Program Summary)

A program hosted by:

ACC Westchester/Southern CT

ACT-ADR participants will share their perspectives, about issues they faced while in your
shoes, and—along with senior representatives from leading arbitration administrative providers—will discuss how they are addressing, or can address, these issues through updated rules, streamlined processes, and innovations aimed at making arbitration simpler, more efficient, and more timely than court litigation.

Expect a frank, balanced discussion about both the benefits and the pitfalls.
