The Six Things in your Hands

You can control six things as a party to a construction arbitration.

Yes, just six.

Almost everything turns on other people's decisions - by the institution, tribunal, witnesses etc.

This is what's in your hands:

(1) Should you start arbitration or fight it once started?

(2) Who should you nominate as arbitrator and use as counsel, expert and witnesses?

(3) What's the best way to present your case?

(4) How will you find the witnesses and the materials to support your case?

(5) How are you going to behave in the proceedings?

(6) What will you do when you receive an arbitration award?

Every one of these questions is a crucial decision point.

It's a chance to increase the odds of success.

When you control only six things, you must make the most of every single one.
