The panel consisted of four participants with expertise in the cannabis industry and cannabis-related ADR. Topics included maximizing your chances for success in ADR proceedings, putting the ADR clause into context and explaining why it matters, things to do before filing and deciding between litigation, mediation or arbitration.

He has been appointed to the American Arbitration Association roster of neutrals for both Mediation and Arbitration and has taught ADR classes for the association.
