These days, the majority of construction bids include an arbitration clause. This arbitration clause requires that all disputes that arise during or after the construction project be handled and resolved through an alternative dispute resolution, otherwise known as the arbitration process. While arbitration can have its benefits, contractors, subcontractors and design professionals will need the services of a skilled construction litigation attorney to effectively represent their needs and reduce their liabilities.
In arbitration, both parties agree to have their claims resolved by a third party who is usually appointed. What makes arbitration unique is that in most cases, arbitration is binding, which means that all parties also agree to comply with the results of the decision. When you enter into binding arbitration, your company stands to lose everything, so it is imperative that you have strong legal representation. In most arbitration cases, appeal is not an option; therefore, it is critical that a qualified construction litigation attorney represent your company through the entire arbitration process, from the initiation through the resolution.
When a construction dispute arises, it can affect everyone involved in the project. Establishing your company’s role in the dispute is critical to minimizing your liabilities and protecting your assets. Your construction litigation attorney will need to investigate everyone involved in the claim, in order to present your case and defend your company from unnecessary liabilities.
By utilizing construction experts and financial professionals, we are able to effectively present a clear and precise case during the arbitration process. Since arbitration is usually conducted very similarly to litigation, you will need an attorney that is skilled in litigation and well versed in construction law, in order to effectively handle cross-examination and interrogations. During the arbitration proceedings, your attorney will need to present clear evidence and call expert witnesses in order to effectively defend your company.
Unfortunately, at some point, nearly every construction company, contractor and subcontractor will be involved in a construction dispute. When this occurs, you will need an experienced construction litigation attorney on your side to represent your company during the arbitration process. From the initiation to the resolution, our construction litigation attorneys will be there through every step of the arbitration process to help protect your interests, so you can focus on what you do best.
