Alternative Dispute Resolution

Bill is championing a revolutionary, new system called “neutral facilitation”. It is a flexible method of managing catastrophic injury claims, giving the parties control over the procedure to an unheard of extent. He wrote a seminal article in the Journal of Personal Injury Litigation in Autumn 2013, and has been advocating it since. He has used its principles in some of his cases.
