What's the Difference? Disclosure Duties of Arbitrators and Mediators

Sponsored by CPR Institute's Arbitration Committee, this virtual program will cover neutral conflict disclosure obligations and outcomes. This program is open and free to CPR members and CPR Neutrals.

Under the rules of most ADR providers and industry standards, prospective arbitrators and mediators must make disclosures before they are retained. Are the requirements for disclosure the same? Can the same disclosures for each of the processes lead to different retention outcomes?

Moderator:

• Viren Mascarenhas, Founding Partner, Mascarenhas ADR (CPR Distinguished Neutral)

Speakers:

• Page Robinson, Head of Litigation and Intellectual Property at Activision Blizzard 
• Jack Levin, Arbitrator & Mediator at Levin ADR, (CPR Distinguished Neutral)
• Francine Griesing, Arbitrator & Mediator at Griesing Law, (CPR Distinguished Neutral)

The organizers expect to receive approval for 1 NY CLE credit for experienced attorneys in Ethics. (While a recording will be available after the event of those that registered, CLE credit is only available to those that attend the live webinar.)

Non-NY attendees will receive proof of attendance for use in applying for credit in their jurisdiction.
