Evolving ADR Practice with ODR

The Covid-19 Pandemic has accelerated the use of technology by forcing many private and public businesses and institutions to move online. The world’s legal and business leaders are now looking more than ever to the field of Online Dispute Resolution (ODR) for alternative and efficient dispute resolution procedures.

ODR is considered a form of Alternative Dispute Resolution (ADR) that uses technology in an attempt to resolve disputes in a faster and more efficient way. This seminar will look at how technology has been used to improve the delivery of ADR services. It will also introduce the participants to a variety of Online Dispute Resolution tools and show them in action through hands-on examples.
