JAMS Featured Speakers
| Philip L. Bruner, Esq. | Ding, Dong, the Witch is Dead: Litigation & ADR Friday, January 19, 2018 | 8:45 AM - 9:45 AM EST This high-level session will discuss the pros and cons of utilizing litigation versus arbitration as a means of resolving disputes among all project team members, as well as key considerations in drafting contractual requirements governing arbitration such as the applicable rules for the proceedings, ethical obligations, consent, venue, and arbitrator selection. The Panel will discuss the challenges faced in multi-tiered litigation; bringing subcontractors or subconsultants into dispute proceedings between the contractor and owner, and whether “sole discretion” arbitration clauses are enforceable against non-parties. |
| Patricia H. Thompson, Esq. |
Behind the Curtain: What Every Contractor, Subcontractor, and Their Counsel Needs to Know about Business Ethics & Compliance This session will discuss the ethical obligations of contractors and subcontractors, and why these obligations are important to owners. The Panel will address the broad reach of these obligations throughout the life cycle of a construction project – in bid preparation and submissions; in contracting and subcontracting; in the direct or indirect submission of various requests, applications, and reports to governmental and quasigovernmental entities; meeting job-specific diversity goals; proper use of M/W/DBEs; and, the dangers of false or fraudulent claims. The Panel will also address ethics compliance programs and the potential consequences of ethical or legal violations. |
