This Committee meets periodically to consider the questions: “What about the commercial disputes that did not happen? How were they avoided? Can lessons be learned that are generally applicable to projects and commercial relationships?” The group has reviewed practices in construction and healthcare which have a proven track record of preventive practices, and developed a series of recommendations to further the understanding of conflict avoidance. Committee members have also been actively engaged in speaking and writing on the topic.
The Chair of this Committee is Jim Groton of Sutherland, Asbill & Brennan LLP.
