When the parties to a construction contract are unable to resolve a change order request, the decision to pursue the matter beyond the administrative remedies defined in the contract can turn out to be a worthwhile investment or throwing good money after bad. Often the difference is related to the forum that has been chosen to resolve the dispute. As a result, contractors and owners, and the attorneys who represent them, need to be familiar with the different options that exist for resolving construction disputes. This slide deck will focus on certain key aspects of these various forums as they relate specifically to construction disputes. It will include a discussion of the most important considerations for choosing a dispute resolution forum, including the legal requirements and practical considerations that apply to each. Specifically, this webinar will provide the pros and cons of the various forums from the perspective of the legal/expert team representing a party in dispute. This unique perspective will include a discussion of the level of preparation that is appropriate for the chosen forum. At the conclusion of the webinar, you will understand the key attributes of negotiation, dispute review boards, mediation, arbitration and litigation, and how these compare in the context of their own unique situation.
