SABA-SC members are invited to attend this virtual panel, organized by SABA-Florida and the American Arbitration association.

It’s a dynamic discussion on arbitration and advocacy—designed for attorneys and law students.

Arbitration is designed to be a streamlined, cost-effective alternative to traditional litigation. However, in high-stakes commercial disputes, the process often morphs into "litigation light," characterized by extensive discovery demands, aggressive motion practice, and protracted hearings.

It provides a comprehensive "360-degree view" of complex arbitration, featuring perspectives from the advocate, the arbitrator, and the arbitral institution (AAA). Attendees will learn practical strategies to rein in runaway arbitrations, effectively utilize AAA Commercial and Construction Large Complex Case (LCC) rules, and navigate the specific ethical duties and disclosure requirements that arise when high-stakes arbitration mimics litigation.

Whether you are a litigator, transactional attorney, in-house counsel, or early-career practitioner, this program offers valuable perspective on the evolving role of arbitration.
