In this latest episode of The Litigator’s Edge, we sit down with Rich Lee, former patent attorney, two-time General Counsel, and Founder & Executive Chairman at New Era ADR, a platform rethinking how everyday disputes get resolved.
After years of seeing the same recurring issues, unpaid invoices, employment claims, and disputes too expensive to litigate, Rich realized something critical: the traditional legal system isn’t built for most cases.
New Era ADR is his answer, a 100-day, flat-fee, digital-first alternative to litigation, designed for the “core 90%” of disputes that fall through the cracks of the current system.
In this conversation, they break down:
- Why most disputes are never worth taking through the traditional court system
- How a 100-day resolution model actually works
- The problem with discovery gamesmanship
- How technology and AI are streamlining legal workflows
- Why user experience matters in dispute resolution and what the future of legal systems could look like
If you’re a lawyer, founder, operator, or anyone who has dealt with slow and expensive legal processes, this episode will completely change how you think about dispute resolution.
