Parties may choose arbitration of technology-related disputes over court proceedings for many reasons: specialized decision-making, time and cost-savings, increased confidentiality protections or more predictability, to name a few. In international disputes, arbitration also allows for multinational enforcement.

Topics to be covered include selecting and Interviewing technology arbitrators, addressing arbitrator conflicts of interest, considering barriers to speedy resolution, the Procedural Order, confidentiality protections, motions and other prehearing practices, expert coordination and hot-tubbing, managing online hearings, and how best to answer arbitrator questions.
