This panel of legal experts will explain the different types of ADR, the legal ramifications of each, and the role of the mediator.

The legislation aims to prevent similar tragedies in New Jersey, and requires qualifying buildings to undergo inspection within the next two years. This panel of legal and engineering experts will delve into the key components of the groundbreaking law, which include both structural integrity and reserve funding, and give boards and managers a roadmap to compliance.
