Most federal government contract disputes settle out of court. Using Alternative Dispute Resolution (ADR) techniques can help the parties resolve their contract controversies while avoiding the time and cost of formal litigation. To further the use of ADR for these disputes, an Executive Order has set forth a federal government policy favoring settlements and the use of ADR, and the result is that the use of ADR has increased dramatically in this arena.
Now completely updated and revised, Alternative Dispute Resolution: A Practical Guide for Resolving Government Contract Controversies considers the methodologies available for resolving the issues that can arise in forming or administering federal government contracts. Focusing on the resolution of contract controversies between federal agencies and their prime contractors (including sponsored subcontractor controversies) and bid protests, this is a ready reference for practitioners and a gateway to the expanse of Internet-based ADR resources. It discusses the types of contract disputes most suitable for ADR, the various ADR methodologies available, and the importance of matching the right process to a particular controversy.
