For over 35 years, CPR has been dedicated to convening its members and experts in the ADR field to analyze and provide techniques, processes and systems to improve conflict management efforts. CPR’s Annual Meeting attracts an internationally diverse group of senior executives and legal counsel from the most successful companies in the world as well as partners from top global law firms.

For over 30 years, CPR has been the leading proponent of self-administered processes and has recently developed an innovative administered process that gives parties the assistance they need and no more. These processes are effectuated in CPR’s rules and clauses and are easily adaptable. They allow parties to constructively and efficiently arrive at an enforceable result, while significantly controlling risks and expenditures of time and money.

For over 30 years, the nation’s top practitioners have relied on CPR’s non –administered rules to resolve high-value, complex legal disputes. In response to users’ requests, CPR is now offering Administered Arbitration Rules for those requiring an administering authority. As more worldwide companies sign CPR’s Corporate Policy Statement on Alternatives to Litigation, International Pledge Agreements and the 21 st Century Corporate ADR Pledge, CPR has witnessed an increased demand for administered arbitration rules.
