The panel entitled “Northeast – Strategies for Success in Mediation/Settlement involving Complex Construction Issues”, will begin at 1:00 pm PT, Thursday, September 23.
The panelists will discuss the best and most current strategies for resolving complex construction disputes and focus on resolving those disputes that arise from complicated and multi-issue claims, multiple party complexities, and those that arise from design/build, construction manager at risk, public-private partnership, and BIM-based design projects.
Speaking from the perspective of those that have mediated, managed, and defended some of the largest and most contentious construction claims in the country, the panel will describe the strategies they have either witnessed or that have worked best for them and equally important, the strategies and tactics that have NOT been successful and which have served to derail the mediation/settlement process.
The panel will also discuss the best practices they recommend for preparing for the complex construction mediation, including the selection of the mediator for such a case, preparation of the mediation statement, pre-mediation interaction with the mediator, the insurer, and the opposition, and how best to set the stage for a successful construction mediation.
The panelists include: Jeffrey Alitz, Freeman Mathis & Gary, LLP; Lisa Black, Black Marjieh & Sanford LLP; Ross Feinberg, JAMS; and Danielle Waltz, Jackson Kelly PLLC.
Other conference sessions will address facets of construction site accidents/injuries, coverage issues, subcontractor issues, risk management, and new technologies. Sessions will address issues on the national, regional, and state levels. In addition to the interactive educational sessions, conference attendees will have many opportunities to network with other thought-leaders in the industry.
