The CPR Institute Brings Together Corporate Counsel, Law Firm Counsel and Other Thought-Leaders in ADR
"I’ve been a litigator for 28 years. I can count on one hand the number of cases that went to trial or to an arbitration hearing, so I am actually in the dispute resolution business -- and ideally in the dispute prevention business as well. CPR membership helps me address those goals in a very innovative and forward-thinking way."
— Cynthia Randall, Deputy General Counsel, Litigation, Microsoft Corporation
