- Can share or annotate documents online.
- User names can be hidden from other participants.
- Private "breakout" meeting rooms available to discuss confidential matters securely with the mediator or lawyer.
- Eliminate costs associated with physical meeting rooms and associated travel time and cost, especially where parties are in different geographic locations.
