Trained Neutrals
The following individuals have completed the Institute’s two-day training course on the EDR Process. This training equips neutrals with advanced techniques and best practices, enabling them to efficiently and economically apply the Protocols as guidelines and to undertake a risk analysis to help parties identify a reasonable settlement range for resolving cases.
The EDR Institute does not endorse or recommend specific neutrals. Parties are encouraged to conduct their own inquiries when selecting a neutral.
