Complimentary Webinar Program: Launching a Career as an
ADR Neutral for Corporate Entertainment Industry Attorneys
The entertainment industry is renowned for its fast pace, creative complexities, and high-stakes disputes. With the rise of intellectual property conflicts, contract disagreements, and talent management issues, traditional litigation is increasingly seen as too costly and time-consuming. As a result, the use of Alternative Dispute Resolution (ADR) has expanded significantly, particularly in industries like entertainment that require efficient and private solutions. In fact, the global ADR market is expected to grow by 9.6% annually, and over 97% of civil cases are now resolved before reaching trial, often through ADR methods. This growing demand for qualified ADR professionals presents a unique opportunity for corporate attorneys to transition into roles as mediators, arbitrators, and special referees.
This webinar is specifically designed for corporate attorneys in the entertainment industry who are looking to launch their careers as ADR neutrals or are in the very early stages of exploring ADR opportunities.
