Understand the Pros and Cons of Arbitration in the Construction Industry
Many building and construction contracts that are written today include an "arbitration clause." This clause is used to anticipate any disputes that may arise and outlines that both sides must submit their dispute for arbitration before an organization such as the American Arbitration Association (AAA). It is the common assumption that construction arbitration is a more cost-effective and less time-consuming option than a trial, but unfortunately, this is not always the case.
At the law firm of Kushnick & Associates, P.C., we understand the rules and procedures of the AAA and Arbitration and handle construction arbitration matters for clients. We work with clients in prosecuting and defending arbitrations, but we also advise our clients during contract formation on the advantages and disadvantages of including arbitration provisions in those contracts.

Reasons to Avoid Arbitration
It is commonly believed by many in the construction industry that mediation or arbitration is a faster, cheaper and more preferable option than litigation in construction defects or construction law disputes. Unfortunately, without focused and experienced counsel, the arbitration process can be unpredictable, time consuming and expensive.
Arbitration may be time consuming and expensive for those who are unfamiliar with the process. Avoiding arbitration may be the best approach in your case, but if arbitration is unavoidable, you will need an experienced lawyer to protect your rights. Our firm will develop a strategy that is right for you and will guide you through the process so that it is as efficient and effective as possible.
