We would like to personally invite you to join us at our upcoming Lorman Education Services live webinar Construction Early Dispute Resolution Fundamentals on June 28 at 1 pm ET.
Learn the power of a designed Mediation to resolve complex construction disputes earlier and effectively.
Most construction disputes settle. However, when they settle can have large project economic consequences to your company and the project. Learn how the smartest professionals in the construction industry get earlier and better resolutions of disputes with less legal and expert expense, and often with preserving valuable relationships. To achieve these results, we will give you insights based on our experience as successful mediators and advocates. We know to hire a mediator as early as possible. Clients appreciate having a neutral they can confidentially talk to as soon as possible, to overcome resistance from opponents to the early hire of mediators, to use the mediator’s power of confidentiality to diagnose all the impass causes which often involve brain science as well as legal or factual issues, and a settlement process should be based on impass diagnostics peculiar to the dispute. The process is more than just showing up for mediation. We avoid surprises during negotiations because of what we learn before the start of negotiations. Learn how to find the best mediators beyond reading online resumes and emails in response to the question, Can anyone recommend a good mediator in ______ . Learn best practices in interviewing mediators who may be unfamiliar to you.
Learning Objectives
- You will be able to explain to opponents why they should agree to the early hire of a mediator.
- You will be able to recognize how inefficient litigation can be to cause a change of settlement positions.
- You will be able to identify the best mediator who is also agreeable to the others.
- You will be able to recognize means to overcome psychological and organizational political factors which can be just as important as legal and factual factors to overcoming impassed positions.
Join us at the conclusion of the webinar for a live question and answer session.
We hope to see you there.
Sincerely,
Mark R. Becker
