Contractor Dispute Guides
Deep-dive guides on the most important topics in contractor disputes — written to give you the knowledge to fight back effectively.
There's a difference between knowing you're right and being able to prove it. These guides give you the foundation — the underlying frameworks, legal context, and industry practices that every contractor dealing with a dispute needs before they file a single letter. How damage claims actually get evaluated, who is genuinely liable under a contractor agreement, what the AAA arbitration process looks like from the inside, and where companies routinely overreach.
These are especially useful if you're preparing for arbitration, dealing with a company that's pushing back hard, or trying to understand whether a claim against you is even valid. Knowing the underlying rules changes how you write every letter — because you stop guessing and start citing. Pair any guide here with the corresponding How-To Guide for your dispute type to get both the knowledge and the step-by-step execution plan.
AAA Arbitration
Filing requirements, fee structures, which rules apply, and what a winning submission looks like.
Damage Claims
How claims get filed and investigated at the company level — and the red flags that make a claim invalid.
Contractor Liability
What you are and aren't legally responsible for. Most contractors accept liability they don't legally owe.
