THE CHANGING FACE OF DISPUTE RESOLUTION
For decades, in many jurisdictions in the far corners of the planet, it’s
been Groundhog Day in dispute resolution. National courts witness the
same issues over and over again: dispute resolution is too slow, not always
trustworthy and sometimes even corrupt. It comes as no surprise then that
resorting to alternative dispute resolution (ADR) is regarded as a viable
alternative. Yet ADR faces its share of problems. The arbitration community
is often seen as a small club, with a limited number of overstretched
practitioners, and therefore prone to conflicts of interest.
New challenges, new solutions
What to do to broaden the scope? New challenges call for new solutions.
In insurance, for example, arbitrators have tended to be underwriters or
brokers. However, drawing from a wider pool could bear significant fruit.
Initiatives aimed at fighting the subconscious biases which still exist are
flourishing. Everywhere you look arbitration is being democratized, with a
larger number of young professionals, women and people with a broader
spectrum of backgrounds breaking into the practice. New seats and institutions
have been gaining more attention, reflecting the success of this on-going
process.
Solutions also lie in financing dispute resolution. Third-party funding, now
commonplace in both arbitration and litigation, has developed recently but
for some it still lacks regulation and others believe the criteria in relation to
fees and what to finance – among other things – need to be standardized.
The high cost of arbitration is also hindering development, but here too
solutions are being found. In the dispute resolution arena, technology is
helping gain time, improve efficiency and, therefore, save money. Litigation
has an equal opportunity to benefit from it. Virtual hearings and the use of
specialized software to collect data and review documentation are just two
ways in which technology is transforming the scene. In addition, litigation
support and legal crisis communication specialists aggregate and help
define legal strategy efficiently. Of course, high standards of ethics and
transparency must be applied because without them other conflicts will arise.
Disputes are getting more complex, numerous and cross-border. These new
human and technological solutions allow us to manage today’s litigations
and arbitrations. Let’s make the most of them.
