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.
