Jeremy Baker, John Bragonje, Todd Conley, Daniel Crane, James Derrick & Andrew Walden Write U.S. Chapter of International Construction Arbitration Guide

Womble Bond Dickinson attorneys Jeremy Baker, John Bragonje, Todd Conley, Daniel Crane, James Derrick, and Andrew Walden have authored the Construction Arbitration: USA chapter of Global Arbitration Review's Know How Construction Arbitration 2026 guide.

The Global Arbitration Review Know-How reports provide detailed information about individual jurisdictions in an easy-to-use-on-the-go, Q&A form. Womble Bond Dickinson will serve as the exclusive provider of the report's U.S. construction arbitration sections for the next three years.

Sample questions include:

• What are the requirements for a construction contract to be formed? When is a “letter of intent” from an employer to a contractor given contractual effect?
• When must the contractor warn the employer of an error in a design provided by the employer?
• What termination rights exist? Can a construction contract be terminated in part? What are the practical and financial consequences?
• How is monetary compensation for breach of contract assessed?
• How do conditional payment (such as pay-when-paid) provisions operate under the law of your jurisdiction (including interpretation rules, any good faith principles and laws on unfair contract terms)?
• If the seat of the arbitration is in your jurisdiction, might a contractor lose its right to arbitrate if it applied to a foreign court for interim or provisional relief?
• Does the law of your jurisdiction recognize “without prejudice” privilege (such that “without privilege” communications are privileged from disclosure)?

In all, the authors address nearly 60 questions related to construction arbitration, providing business-focused, concise answers on a wide range of topics.
