So you have reached an agreement on the dollar amount of a settlement, but now what? Often resolving the dollar amounts of a construction dispute are the easiest parts of a settlement. There are many other issues that can cause a deal to get hung up, including the scopes of releases, warranties, third-party rights, confidentiality, non-disparagement, indemnification, assignment of rights, or impacts of future bankruptcy. All of these, and more, need to be considered when resolving construction disputes, and should be thought about before a financial settlement is achieved. This presentation identifies and provides suggested solutions for working through these sticky “settlement” issues.
