ADR Practice Development Tips for Women

Anne Marie Seibel, partner in the Birmingham office, was a presenter at the American Bar Association’s Section of Dispute Resolution May Teleconference discussing ADR Practice Development Tips for Women. Anne Marie joined a panel of representatives from alternative dispute resolution providers AAA and JAMS, as well as an experienced arbitrator and mediator, who offered advice to women interested in developing their neutral practice. Anne Marie provided insight from a litigator’s perspective on the evaluation of mediators and arbitrators and the importance of developing a strong reputation in the field to be chosen for future matters. Anne Marie was asked to join the panel due to her own extensive arbitration experience and her role as Co-Chair of the Section of Litigation’s Woman Advocate Committee.
