Miles is proud to sponsor the American Bar Association Dispute Resolution Section’s 2025 Arbitration Institute, taking place June 12–13 in Denver. This event offers a comprehensive exploration of the arbitration process, led by nationally recognized experts, including neutrals, advocates, and institutional leaders.
On Thursday, June 12, Hon. Susan Forsling, senior judge and neutral with Miles, will serve as a panelist for “Early Stages: Arbitration Initiation and the Preliminary Conference.” This session will cover key components of launching arbitration—from interpreting the clause and selecting arbitrators to addressing disclosure obligations and preparing for preliminary hearings. Hon. Susan will share her insights on how to build a strong foundation for efficient and fair proceedings.
Later that afternoon, Usher Winslett, a neutral with Miles and chair of the Arbitration Institute, will moderate “Lessons from Providers,” a panel offering an inside look at how institutions select arbitrators, define effectiveness, and shape the arbitration process. Meredith Stockman, COO at Miles, will join the panel to share operational insights alongside representatives from the AAA, JAMS, JAG Inc, and Resolute Systems.
Hon. Susan Forsling will also participate in “Facilitated Sessions on the Evidentiary Hearing” on Friday, June 13. This interactive session will focus on best practices for managing evidentiary hearings, including presenting evidence, handling objections, and maintaining procedural fairness.
Also attending from Miles are mediators and arbitrators Robert Litz and Paul Burkhart, CEO Parag Shah, CRO Todd Drucker, and Director of Arbitration Liz Jow, who will participate in sessions and connect with peers across the dispute resolution community.
