Mass Arbitration: Tactics and Lessons from the Trenches (On-Demand)

Course Description

Mass arbitration is increasingly being used as a powerful tool to pressure companies—leveraging the economics of arbitration fees and serial proceedings to overwhelm them. What begins as a handful of claims can rapidly escalate into hundreds, if not thousands, of near-identical arbitrations, threatening financial stability and litigation continuity.

This webinar will explore the evolving landscape of mass arbitration and mass litigation through the lens of defense counsel with firsthand experience navigating high-volume dockets. Drawing from real-world examples, speakers will unpack the strategic challenges posed by mass filings, how plaintiffs’ counsel are structuring these campaigns, and defense approaches that can mitigate risk, manage cost, and turn the tide. Attendees will learn best practices for coordinating national defense strategy, developing global settlement frameworks, and tailoring responses even as new plaintiffs and theories emerge.

Ideal for federal practitioners, in-house counsel, and outside litigation teams, this session offers practical tools and tactical insights for responding effectively when your client becomes the next target of a mass action wave.
