This presentation will cover the following topics:
• Reasons consumers and their attorneys should opt for arbitration over litigation,
• Addressing common myths regarding arbitration,
• The types of discovery you should be requesting and how to request it, and
• A list of things you should never let happen in a case you’re arbitrating.
I hope that by the end of this presentation, you will no longer hold the common belief that arbitration is inherently anti-consumer. Over the past decade, significant developments in consumer arbitration have transformed it from a process to avoid into one that consumers can actively embrace.
