Episode 27: Early Dispute Resolution

This podcast is on Early Dispute Resolution (EDR)—a form of alternative dispute resolution that is becoming more widely used to resolve construction industry disputes. EDR seeks to resolve complex commercial disputes within 30-60 days with an outcome equivalent to those reached after full motion practice or trial. Our guests are Brett Henson and Peter Silverman of the Shumaker law firm. Brett and Peter describe the goals of EDR, its use in practice and some aspirational commentary about EDR becoming the standard resolution practice for a wider range of construction disputes.
