Alternative Dispute Resolution
- In Sterling Engineering & Construction Co., Inc. v. Town of Burrillville Housing Authority, AP&S attorneys obtained a landmark decision from the Rhode Island Supreme Court that required compulsory arbitration in public works cases.
- In another landmark decision from the Rhode Island Supreme Court, AP&S attorneys successfully argued that discovery should not be permitted in arbitration proceedings, which preserved the expedited procedures for which ADR has become so popular among clients, corporate or otherwise.
- We were also pioneers in establishing mandatory arbitration in Rhode Island Superior Court for certain cases.
