Webinar presented by NAPABA’s Dispute Resolution Committee

Join us on February 26 at 12pm ET for the NAPABA program titled:
Making the Pivot: Transitioning from Advocate to ADR Professional.  

Thinking about becoming a mediator or arbitrator?
Join a frank discussion on how major alternative dispute resolution (ADR) providers actually build and manage their rosters.  You’ll gain practical guidance on what credentials matter, how panels are structured, and what it really takes to transition from advocate to neutral. If you’re serious about building a neutral practice, this session gives you the roadmap. Representatives from the major ADR providers in the U.S. will share their insights and answer questions you may have on this fast-growing practice area.
