Law

When disagreements are serious enough that lawyers are brought in, the next step is often a lawsuit. Before heading to court, consider litigating the dispute in binding arbitration. Arbitration is private litigation, with the arbitrator having the powers of a judge and jury.

While contractors expect projects with no delays and disputes, the fact is they happen frequently and require resolution involving outside parties. While any method of resolution can be messy, the more thought that is put into preparing and streamlining the process beforehand, the better the likely outcome and quicker the likely resolution.
