SUMMARY:ADR Services\, Inc. for the complimentary Construction Powerhouse Seminar
DESCRIPTION:Description:\nJoin ADR Services\, Inc. for the complimentary Construction Powerhouse Seminar\, a full-day complimentary program featuring some of California’s leading construction neutrals. This practical\, fast-paced seminar will cover the issues driving today’s construction disputes\, including effective mediation of complex multi-party disputes\, mandatory mediation under SB 440\, insurance and coverage dynamics in construction defect cases\, the growing crossover between real property and construction issues\, and a live “Ask Me Anything” panel with seasoned construction dispute resolution professionals. Designed for construction litigators\, insurers\, developers\, contractors\, and industry professionals\, this program will provide actionable insight into the strategies\, trends\, and challenges shaping modern construction dispute resolution. \nManaging the Multiple Personalities of Construction Disputes\nWed\, Jul 1\, 2026 9:00 AM – 10:00 AM PDT\nHon. Paul Bacigalupo (Ret.)\nBob Hamilton\, Esq.\nThis program will explore the personalities and competing interests often found in construction disputes\, including emotional property owners and sellers\, construction professionals including architects and contractors\, claims professionals\, and of course the attorneys representing each. With this diverse tapestry of characters\, resolution requires dynamic management of people and interests. In this program\, seasoned mediators Bob Hamilton and Judge Paul Bacigalupo (Ret.) will dissect their approach to managing these often competing demands\, goals and personalities in construction mediation to untangle complex disputes and finding resolutions all parties can accept.\nHandout Materials \nWhat Every Construction Lawyer Should Know about Mandatory Mediation Under SB 440\nWed\, Jul 1\, 2026 10:15 AM – 11:15 AM PDT\nJohn Hanover\, Esq.\nTed Levin\, P.E.\, Esq.\nWith the enactment of SB 440\, owners\, contractors and subcontractors and their counsel must now navigate a mandatory claim dispute process defined by newly-enacted SB 440 (Civ. Code sections 8850 and 8851). The Legislature has made clear that it is in the best interest of the “state and its citizens” to ensure that claims on many private construction projects are “paid in full and in a timely manner”.\nThis program will provide construction lawyers\, their clients\, insurers\, and neutrals with a practical overview of the mandatory dispute resolution process enacted in SB 440\, the strategies for how to best use those procedures\, and the opportunities created for resolution of claims during the pendency of a project\, without the accumulation of claims and the risk of additional draconian interest charges that will only make them much more difficult to resolve in the future.\nHandout Materials \nCoverage Drives the Deal: Navigating Insurance in Construction Defect Mediation\nWed\, Jul 1\, 2026 11:30 AM – 12:30 PM PDT\nBrad Bening\, Esq.\nGary Selvin\, Esq.\nInsurance coverage issues often drive construction defect settlements as much as liability and damages themselves. Join construction mediator Brad Bening and coverage specialist Gary Selvin for a practical\, hypothetical-driven discussion of how coverage disputes impact real-world mediation strategy in complex CD matters.\nUsing scenarios drawn from multi-party construction cases\, the program will explore additional insured issues\, reservation of rights and Cumis conflicts\, property damage triggers\, exclusions\, time-on-risk allocation\, and strategic settlement considerations. Designed for active construction practitioners\, this program focuses less on abstract coverage theory and more on the practical question: what do attorneys do with these issues in the middle of a real case?\nHandout Materials \nReal Property – Construction Defect Crossover\nWed\, Jul 1\, 2026 1:00 PM – 2:00 PM PDT\nBob Mann\, Esq.\nJohn Hanover\, Esq.\nTed Levin\, P.E.\, Esq.\nThis program will examine the growing blurring of the lines between real property and construction disputes\, and how overlapping issues increasingly shape negotiation\, litigation\, and resolution strategy. Our panel will explore practical considerations arising at the intersection of development\, defects\, land use\, insurance\, title\, and project-related conflicts\, and how to resolve them.\nHandout Materials \nConstruction Dispute Resolution AMA\nWed\, Jul 1\, 2026 2:15 PM – 3:45 PM PDT\nBob Friedenberg\, Esq.\nHon. Victoria Chaney (Ret.)\nJohn Hanover\, Esq.\nTed Levin\, P.E.\, Esq.\nJoin a panel of highly experienced construction neutrals — Bob Friedenberg\, Justice Victoria Chaney\, Ted Levin\, and John Hanover — for an interactive “Ask Me Anything” discussion on the real-world challenges shaping construction disputes today. Drawing from decades of experience mediating\, arbitrating\, and litigating complex matters\, the panel will answer audience questions live while also addressing topics submitted in advance\, offering practical insight\, war stories\, and strategic guidance for construction practitioners.\nHandout Materials
