Join us for an engaging panel discussion with top legal experts in the construction industry. Featuring the general counsel of MTA Construction and Development, NYC DDC, WSP USA, and seasoned outside counsel, we will explore the intricacies of construction claims in design-build versus traditional design-bid-build projects.
Key Topics:
• Root Causes of Disputes: Examine what triggers disputes in design-build projects and how these differ from traditional methods.
• Claims Dynamics: Discover how dispute dynamics have shifted, with conflicts now emerging within the design-build team itself.
• Proactive Measures: Learn strategic steps for contract drafting and field practices to prevent or quickly resolve disputes, ensuring smoother project execution.
• Effective Dispute Resolution: Gain insights into the best procedures for tackling the unique challenges of design-build projects.
