Description

The economic disruptions brought by the COVID-19 pandemic, along with recent court cases, have triggered waves of issues in the construction industry. These developments further complicate the regulatory landscape, particularly the concept of the limitation of liability clauses, the remedy of alleged defects under the Arizona Purchaser Dwelling Actions Act, and other statutory rules. With the various methods of preparing requirements and procedural steps, businesses need to know what option best suits their case to implement effective resolution strategies.

Listen as experienced construction lawyers Joseph Darr (Kirwin Norris, P.A) and Steven Nudelman (Greenbaum Rowe Smith & Davis LLP) provide the audience with a comprehensive discussion of the most appropriate alternative dispute resolution strategies in construction-related cases. Speakers, among other things, will offer compliance and litigation strategies to avoid legal pitfalls.

•Construction-Related Alternative Dispute Resolution Trends and Developments
•Common Construction-Related Issues

•Exploring Effective Dispute Resolution Strategies
•What Lies Ahead
