Summary

Managing Construction Litigation is an authoritative, insider's perspective on best practices for litigating construction disputes. Featuring partners from some of the nation's leading law firms, these experts guide the reader through the intricacies of a construction dispute, including the client's role in the process, ADR provisions, and settlement considerations. These top lawyers give tips on dealing with some of the most challenging aspects of litigation, including managing documentation, recreating a timeline, and working with witnesses and experts. Additionally, these leaders reveal their strategies for avoiding litigation and discuss recent trends in construction disputes. The different niches represented and the breadth of perspectives presented enable readers to get inside some of the great legal minds of today, as these experienced lawyers offer up their thoughts around the keys to success within this ever-evolving field.

Inside the Minds provides readers with proven business intelligence from C-Level executives (Chairman, CEO, CFO, CMO, Partner) from the world's most respected companies nationwide, rather than third-party accounts from unknown authors and analysts. Each chapter is comparable to an essay/thought leadership piece and is a future-oriented look at where an industry, profession or topic is headed and the most important issues for the future. Through an exhaustive selection process, each author was hand-picked by the Inside the Minds editorial board to author a chapter for this book.
