Often the steps taken prior to litigation commencing, or even
disputes arising, can assist in mitigating potential damages.
Preservation, contemporaneous recording, and organization of
records is not only important during the litigation process but is
an integral part of any strategy to successfully defend all
possible claims and minimize overall liability.
How documentation is preserved and organized is partially
dependent on what type of claims may be expected arising from a
dispute. Regardless of the dispute, the importance of
contemporaneous record keeping cannot be stressed enough.
Construction projects can come with a litany of potential
issues, including delays, defaults, deficiencies, and disputes.
Besides the necessity of adhering to contract requirements, it is
essential that these issues are papered contemporaneously when they
are occurring.
