SURVIVAL KIT FOR COMPLEX CONSTRUCTION ARBITRATION IN THE 1990S

As construction disputes become increasingly more complex, arbitration proceedings must become commensurately more focused in order to save time and expense. This requires improved and continually evolving arbi tration management skills on the part of ADR professionals, says the a uthor. Arbitrators must fully understand their priorities and responsi bilities and, just as important, be sufficiently trained to seize the reins of proceedings that can easily become time-consuming exercises i n futility in the hands of less-skilled neutrals. The author presents an incisive examination of how to improve the efficiency of the arbitr ation process and maximize its value to users.
