The North American suite of reports present findings from data that has never been analyzed before and gives insight into the commercial dispute resolution (DR) landscape in North America.

The GPC Miami Report explores the characteristics of users of DR in Miami, how the market responds to their needs, obstacles and challenges facing their jurisdiction and provides a vision for the future of commercial DR in Miami.

Some results may be expected. Others may be quite surprising. 

The following is a sample of some of the themes emerging from The GPC Miami Report. For the complete picture of this jurisdiction, download the report from the IMI website.

‘Commercial DR in Miami is associated with strong ethical standards, access to a range of DR processes and knowledgeable practitioners. Party expectations are met on numerous levels thanks to a focus on a range of practices that prioritize early intervention and efficient resolution.

Even so, the industry faces a number of challenges moving forward including an over-emphasis on discovery and excessive costs and delays.’
