Resolving matrimonial matters requires neutrals who have the right temperament and are capable of navigating and resolving matters, while fully understanding the sensitive nature and sometimes heart wrenching and overwhelming issues that accompany any divorce proceeding.

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.

With more than 30 years of civil litigation, Richard Fodera has successfully handled hundreds of complex high exposure cases from inception through verdict or settlement relating to negligence, personal injury, premises liability, labor law, auto and product liability.

The program will focus on the unique issues involved in insurance coverage disputes - with particular attention paid to the practical benefits of resolving these disputes via Mediation. Our panel will discuss the means and methods of resolving these disputes in the context of various claims, fact patterns, parties, policies, and types of damages.

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.

Since the onset of COVID-19 and sheltering in place, our Neutrals have been mediating and arbitrating matters using NAM’s advanced video-technology platforms, primarily through Zoom

Issues unique to the virtual ADR process in terms of negotiations and security unique to videoconferencing technology will also be addressed.
