Program Summary

Many construction contracts on large and small projects require dispute resolution other than litigation in court. Alternative dispute resolution (ADR) is expected to save the parties from uncontrollable expenses and fees that are typical of litigation. Getting the most out of ADR, however, requires an equal amount of deliberation and case management. During this session, we will discuss important considerations in ADR, like choosing the right mediator or arbitrator, identifying a limited scope of discovery, and the necessary tools to leverage a winning case on the merits.

This course is co-sponsored with myLawCLE.

Key topics to be discussed:

Define ADR and identify its benefits
Understand ADR options specified in the contract or negotiated in compromise of the contract
Develop an ADR plan that includes both expectations and contingencies
