New York, NY – Brenda Radmacher, a partner in Seyfarth’s Construction practice, will be the featured speaker at an upcoming webinar hosted by the American Arbitration Association (AAA). The event, titled “Effective Advocacy in Construction Arbitration: Presenting to Arbitrators and Managing Expectations,” is scheduled for November 3, 2025, from 1:00 to 2:00 p.m. ET.
This webinar is part of AAA’s four-part series focused on navigating complex construction disputes, a growing area of concern in the field of arbitration. Participants can anticipate receiving practical guidance not just from advocates but also from experienced arbitrators, making the session particularly valuable for those involved in construction arbitration.
During the session, attendees will learn how to craft persuasive arguments to effectively present their cases. The program will cover critical aspects of working with expert witnesses, offering insights on how to leverage their expertise within the arbitration process. Additionally, the session will address common procedural challenges that participants may face in arbitration and will present actionable strategies aimed at enhancing advocacy skills.
The core values of arbitration—fairness, flexibility, and efficiency—will be emphasized throughout the program. This aligns with the AAA’s broader commitment to improving the arbitration process within the construction industry. Participants will be able to register for individual sessions or for the entire series, giving them flexibility in how they wish to engage with the content.
The “Effective Advocacy” program is part of a larger Construction Arbitration Webinar Series, which also includes topics such as discovery management, cost control, and ethical considerations in arbitration. Each segment provides an opportunity for industry stakeholders to deepen their understanding of arbitration in the construction sector.
The webinar comprises largely three parts. The first part will delve into the Japanese arbitration regime, highlighting the legal framework, recent developments, and anticipated changes within Japan. This section aims to provide a comprehensive overview for those unfamiliar with the nuances of arbitration in that region.
The second part of the webinar will focus specifically on construction disputes within Japan, offering practical tips for managing these often-complex disputes. Given the unique challenges presented in such matters, this segment is poised to be especially beneficial for those looking to operate effectively in international contexts.
Lastly, the third part will demonstrate the unique aspects of Japanese commercial arbitration, even for parties hailing from different nationalities. Understanding these unique factors can greatly enhance the effectiveness of legal strategies employed in cross-border disputes.
Despite the informative nature of the webinar, it is recommended that participants seek specialist advice for specific circumstances to ensure a comprehensive understanding of arbitration practices tailored to their needs.
As the global arbitration landscape continues to evolve, particularly in Japan, the session offered by Radmacher and the AAA underscores the need for attorneys and advocates in the construction industry to adapt their strategies and approaches. By remaining informed and equipped with current best practices, advocates can better serve their clients and navigate the complexities of construction arbitration.
Registration details for the webinar will be provided for interested participants, allowing access to additional information about this valuable educational opportunity.
