Episode 31: Dispute Resolution Boards

In this episode we discuss DRBs—Dispute Resolution Boards—and best practices for experts and lawyers who participate in them. Engineer and expert Joe Siebold from Arcadis addresses this topic. Together we explore the range of processes undertaken by DRBs, their best uses including quarterly reviews and ways to stop disputes before they start. Joe describes the work that experts can perform, potential pitfalls for parties presenting to DRBs, and issues to look out for as lawyers, including whether DRB rulings and recommendations are binding or admissible in subsequent litigation.
