Effectively Preventing, Managing, and Presenting Construction Disputes in the Age of the "New Normal"

The 2022 American Arbitration Association® Construction Conference focuses on the growing complexities of construction projects, preventing disputes often inevitable in these projects, and creating dispute resolution strategies to mitigate risk and keep projects on track.

A Breakfast with General Counsel opens the conference, discussing current issues important to construction companies, continuing with sessions on:

• Key Issues in Presenting Disruption and Delay Cases;
• Discovery Best Practices for Construction Arbitration;
• Consolidation and Joinder in Construction Disputes;
• Challenges, Cultural Differences, and Conflict Management Options for International Disputes;
• Ethics in Arbitration; and more.

Attendees will leave with techniques and best practices to help them adapt their dispute resolution strategies for complex construction projects in our “new normal.
