The Global Forum on Dispute Resolution (GPC – Global Pound Conference) in Singapore 2016 outlined guidelines for the future of ADR (Appropriate Dispute Resolutions) in the world for the coming decades: Efficiency and cost-effectiveness in dispute resolution will drive future public policies; Control by parties and focus on relationships is a priority; Consultancy by Lawyers and guidance by Dispute Resolution Providers on multi-process resolution approaches; Interaction between Law, Interests of the parties and General Concepts of Justice; Collaboration and conflict prevention; Institutions (Judiciary, Executive and Legislative) have a big role in influencing the change. Alongside these guidelines, it is fundamental to thematize our beliefs, look from new logics and experiences, revisit our abilities and, above all, transform our reality.

In the past four decades, there has been significant development of Alternative Dispute Resolutions (ADR) in the USA. These methods have become a regular activity in Federal and State Courts, as well as together with Mediation, Negotiation, Arbitration, and all other derivative forms of resolution now accounting for more than 90% of dispute resolutions in the country. The expanding use of non-judicial methods has played a significant role in the sharp decline in merit awards in American Courts during the late 20th century. Surveys among Fortune 1,000 Corporate Counsel have shown that companies have used Mediation for all types of disputes, and survey respondents overwhelmingly declared its ongoing use by their companies. Besides that, Alternative or Appropriate Dispute Resolutions (ADR) are well-developed in New York City, which is a major financial and commercial center in US. As a result, there is a wide range of institutions, organizations, and professionals offering ADR services in the city. Additionally, there are several institutions dedicated to promoting and administering ADR processes in NYC, including Arbitration, Mediation, and Negotiation.

In November 2022, I participated in the CR Connection NYC Mission. It was a fantastic experience, with the opportunity to maintain contact with different protagonists and meet institutions of global importance, which seek peaceful methods to resolve conflicts.
The event, organized by CR Connection NYC Mission, brought elements that definitely provided an evolutionary leap in the conflict resolution methodology in my activity as a lawyer. It is worth emphasizing that the lectures given in private and public institutions were of a high level, demonstrating, in practice, that the adoption of alternative methods is the most effective tool for successfully ending disputes.
Being part of NY Mission I was a wonderful experience on the path to a culture of peace. The meetings and lectures at JAMS and CPR were enriching, culminating in the exciting visit to the UN. Congratulations to the organizers!
Inspiring experience, with a lot of learning! Essential for anyone looking to increase their interpersonal and international connections.
The dynamics of new times justify the assimilation of different positions. Artificial intelligence, exhaustion of legal channels, the influx of Economic Law lessons (and the respective cost of the process), and the very perception of the reflections of heuristics, noise and biases demand and open up new perspectives. It is in this context that negotiation is inserted, particularly negotiation based on principles, advocated by the Harvard School. A genuine method that seeks to extract the true interests of contenders in its broadest sense, constitutes a modern and effective technique available to litigants to resolve the conflict. Personally, I believe that my participation in the theory and tools on negotiation workshop was of great benefit, as it enabled me to employ optimized techniques for resolving conflicts in the exercise of jurisdiction. In turn, the I NY MISSION provided invaluable contacts with experienced mediators, public and private, and which endorse a new panorama of conflict resolution. I recommend it to legal professionals!
In 2022 I had the honor of participating in a unique and pioneering project. The negotiation journey with guided tours by Luciana Drimel Days on a mission to NY through visits to Courts, Negotiation Chambers, the UN, participation in conferences and Workshops taught that only by creating a circle of value where the parties can effectively bring legitimacy and technical knowledge will be the solution to conflicts that impact a better world. Negotiation is a technique and as such I was able to improve my skills through this transformative experience in my professional life.
