Mediation, Arbitration and Other Alternative Dispute Resolution Processes

Civil trials are expensive, particularly with respect to design and construction disputes. Severson & Werson was a leader in developing mediation as an alternative to litigation and its attorneys have successfully resolved hundreds of construction cases through mediation. They are also well-versed in all other alternative dispute resolution processes employed to resolve construction disputes, including arbitration, SB 800, Calderon, Early Neutral Evaluation, Expedited Jury Trials and equitable adjustment processes. Due to their considerable experience and abilities in this field, the Construction Practice Group’s attorneys are also sought after and serve as special masters, arbitrators, mediators and settlement panelists in design and construction disputes.
