Hi everyone,
In anticipation of our Equal Foot webinar on Thursday afternoon, I thought I would get everyone thinking about contract creation and contract management "in the cloud."
With the growth of cloud computing and increased delivery of software as a service (SaaS), new online platforms are being developed for creating and managing contracts. Equal Foot is one of the newest. The founders of Equal Foot recognize the value of ADR and the particular economic benefit of ODR and incorporated it as a requirement in their contracting tool.
Do you think online contract creation/management will be the wave of the future? Are you familiar with any such platforms? Will this trend contribute to the growth of ODR?

Linda did a fantastic job of presenting the EqualFoot.com / American Arbitration Association partnership. As she noted, we are very strong advocates for ADR and consider it a critical link in the contract life cycle chain. Without the ability to resolve disputes quickly, contract performance is stopped. It's a critical component for parties to be on equal footing.
EqualFoot.com makes resolving disputes through ADR an obligation of the contracting parties such that when a party initiates a dispute, an expedited, economical and efficient process begins. Most arbitration will be done completely online with a unique basis for charging based on the number of pages submitted by each party.
If you have any questions, please feel free to contact me at john@equalfoot.com and we welcome you to visit and try our service.
