Summary
New Era in Justice: How Collin Williams is Transforming Dispute Resolution
The Lawyer Stories Podcast Episode 234 features Collin Williams, Founder & Chairman at New Era ADR.
From aspiring litigator to groundbreaking entrepreneur, Collin's journey started in law school with dreams of courtroom advocacy — only to discover that litigation often has little to do with being in court. With a background spanning big law and corporate counsel, Collin followed his entrepreneurial drive to create New Era ADR in 2020, reimagining how disputes are resolved.
New Era ADR delivers simplified dispute resolution — ending litigation gamesmanship with fair, efficient 100-day arbitrations and mediations for one flat fee, all powered by top-tier neutrals on a digital platform. We also dive into the history of arbitration, Collin's legal career lessons, and the importance of mental health awareness — a cause we're both passionate about.
Listen now and discover how the future of dispute resolution is here.
