Construction disputes often begin with strong facts and clear contractual positions, yet still end in costly, prolonged processes that fail to deliver meaningful business outcomes. In many cases, the issue is not the merits of the dispute, but how lawyers and experts are selected, aligned, and managed.
This panel brings together in-house counsel, outside trial lawyers, and construction dispute experts to examine where dispute resolution efforts commonly go off track—and how to correct course. Through practical examples and candid discussion, panelists will explore how misaligned incentives, overbuilt strategies, and poorly integrated expert analysis can increase cost and complexity without improving results.
Designed for general counsel, construction executives, and claims professionals, this session focuses on making better strategic decisions from the outset and throughout the life of a dispute. Attendees will gain practical insight into when experts add value, how to align legal strategy with business objectives, and how to manage dispute teams to drive efficient, outcome-focused resolution.
