Construction Disputes — Litigation, Arbitration, and Mediation

Construction disputes frequently require resolution through litigation, arbitration, or mediation depending on the contract terms and the nature of the dispute. Many construction contracts include mandatory arbitration clauses that require disputes to be resolved through binding arbitration rather than court litigation. Baker Law Group, PLLC represents construction clients in all three forums and advises on which resolution path best serves the client's specific situation.
