Technology and e-commerce are not only changing how society does business, but also the way we resolve business disputes. Consumers, businesses, and legal service providers increasingly expect to be able to resolve any issues that arise, 24 hours a day and 7 days a week, right from their laptops and tablets. Dispute resolution processes like mediation and arbitration are rapidly moving online. In this talk, one of the founders of the field of online dispute resolution will discuss the cutting edge opportunities this new technology offers to consumers, businesses, lawyers and law firms.
