There are a number of important reasons why an employer might choose to implement a corporate employment ADR program in the workplace. Alternative dispute resolution (ADR) methods, such as arbitration and mediation, are often utilized to reduce the uncertainty and expenses of litigation, and can help reduce and resolve business and employment disputes.

Contested matters in the Surrogate's Courts of New York are part of the trend of increasing litigation in our society. The weight of that trend is all the more heavier following the closure of the courthouses and the limit placed on the reopened courthouses following the Covid-19 pandemic.

Hon. Peter B. Skelos (Ret.) and Gary H. Tabat, Esq. will join an expert panel that will address why attorneys and litigants must come to understand that courthouse life in the post-pandemic world will only serve to exacerbate the problems of our historically overburdened matrimonial parts.

NAM has been named the #1 ADR Provider in New York for the last 9 years, and we are extremely grateful for all your support. If you haven’t done so already, we would sincerely appreciate it if you could place a vote for NAM in the listed categories, as well as vote for a NAM Mediator and Arbitrator.

Teleconferencing and videoconferencing are hot topics in today’s environment. Legal professionals are using this form of communication now more than ever, which heightens the exposure to cybersecurity threats. “User hygiene” should be top-of-mind to ensure that mediations and arbitrations are not subject to attack by hackers.

The program will provide a comprehensive overview to virtual mediation and arbitration, including guidelines and protocols regarding cybersecurity for virtual hearings, and a review of available technology and choice of platforms.

Attendees will learn best practices and pitfalls that occur during mediations and how to maximize the possibility of achieving a resolution through the mediation. Issues unique to the virtual ADR process in terms of negotiations and security unique to videoconferencing technology will also be addressed.
