Arbitration 101 - 3 credit hours

When irreconcilable differences occur in a new home or remodeling construction project, how are they resolved?
Do you go to court?
Do you mediate?
Do you arbitrate?
What does your contract say and, importantly, why?

In Arbitration: How Do You Choose, When Do You Use, long-time construction professional and arbitrator Tom Gotschall will help you understand the dispute resolution processes and, for those who use arbitration clauses, how to better understand the process.
