CLE: Construction Defect Claims: A Mediator's Perspective
Presented to: Troutman Sanders LLP
Date: Monday, September 16, 2019
Time: 12:00 p.m. ET – 1:00 p.m. ET
Continuing Legal Education: 1 CLE credit (Skills) will be earned by all who attend the 50 minute presentation

NAM neutral, Richard P. Byrne, Esq., has been invited to present a Continuing Legal Education (CLE) seminar to the law firm of Troutman Sanders LLP. The one hour CLE presentation entitled Construction Defect Claims: A Mediator's Perspective, will be held at the firm's offices at 875 Third Avenue, New York, NY on Monday, September 16, 2019, from 12:00 p.m. – 1:00 p.m.


Construction defect claims often evolve into one of the most complex, expensive, unwieldy and exasperating types of litigation. Numerous parties, extensive documentation, never-ending depositions and competing experts – with underlying insurance coverage disputes and parallel declaratory judgment actions – have the potential to cumulatively present all the negatives of the litigation process in one setting. This presentation will address the alternative route of Mediation as a means to cast a net over the situation and provide a forum to address the issues in a controlled fashion – before the parties and their insurers find their resources impaired and their options curtailed by litigation – with no way to reverse course.

Other construction claim related topics to be discussed will include:

  • Aggregating the Parties and Their Issues
  • Owner / Developer
  • General Contractor
  • Subcontractors
  • Design vs. Construction
  • Experts
  • Insurance Coverage
