Deploying Part 8 of any CCDC contract, or any dispute resolution clause in a contract can often be daunting. Questions arise such as, should I hire a lawyer? or, what do I need to get started? How do we agree on a mediator and when? Answering all these questions early on before a contract is ever executed is often a good way to start. The next issue becomes, what am I giving up? In many ways, that is not the right question to ask. Spend 2.5 hours diving down into part 8 of your CCDC contract or other dispute resolution mechanism you have in contract to learn the facts and face the fear of mediation and arbitration.
