Why Pick Arbitration to Resolve a Dispute?
 Typical construction projects are complex and lengthy, and given these variables, disputes among parties often occur. The cost and duration of disputes can be lessened significantly through planning of how disputes will be handled should they arise. The number of details considered in advance is directly proportional to the amount of control parties can exert over the management of the resolution process when and if necessary.
Contrary to litigation, alternative dispute resolution (ADR) allows parties the ability to plan early for possible disputes and the flexibility to customize the most time and cost effective resolution process for their case. This is accomplished by inserting an ADR clause in the dispute resolution section of the construction contract spelling out the terms of the resolution process agreed to by both parties. Even if a project is underway and bound an existing contract when a dispute arises, parties still can use ADR to their advantage.
For more information on how ADR can help you, call one of our attorneys at 201-343-1100. |
