Energy projects now involve larger investments, longer timelines, and more parties than ever. When disputes arise, the consequences can extend well beyond the contract itself.

According to AAA Arbitrator Kevin O’Gorman, understanding where risk concentrates in these disputes — and how to manage it — is critical to controlling cost, timing, and business impact.

In August 2025, eight Suffolk Law School students became the inaugural participants in the AAA–Suffolk Online Dispute Resolution (ODR) Innovation Clinic.

This clinic is the centerpiece of a multi-year collaboration among the AAA, the AAA-ICDR Institute, @Suffolk_Law, and justice technology partner @Portable.

At the center of the initiative was a simple premise: embedding law students into the justice system to observe existing processes, identify pain points, and design an online dispute resolution platform that effectively addresses the parties’ needs.

The panel, moderated by AAA-ICDR Vice President Maya Markovich, featured panelists Ruth Prigoda, Judge, Eesti kohtud; Dr. Benedikt M.

Technology is making disputes more common, more complex, and harder to control.

AAA Arbitrator Jiyun Lee sees this happening across every industry, saying that “it no longer matters if a party itself is in ‘tech,’ because we are all consumers of technology.”

In international arbitration, evidence is rarely straightforward. Cross-border disputes may involve different legal traditions, conflicting expectations, and more that can affect the perceptions of fairness and enforceability.

At the 2026 ICDR Conference panel “Proof, Power, and Consequence,” attendees discussed how tribunals and parties are managing evidentiary complexity in modern cross-border disputes.

During the 2008 global financial crisis, the American automotive industry was on the brink of collapse.

The Treasury Department determined that General Motors and Chrysler couldn’t achieve the necessary downsizing quickly enough. Thus, they both had to file for Chapter 11 bankruptcy

The two companies closed a total of 2,789 dealerships with no clear means of recourse. Congress was now faced with a monumental task: Find a way to address thousands of potential disputes in a way that was efficient and trustworthy.

They didn’t have to look for long — the American Arbitration Association® quickly volunteered its services.

In international construction, the contract does more than document the deal. It shapes how risk is managed, how uncertainty is addressed, and how disputes may unfold if performance breaks down.

At the 2026 ICDR Conference panel “From Blueprint to Deal Architecture,” attendees examined how contract design, local realities, and evolving project risks are shaping international construction disputes.

It’s no coincidence that construction and arbitration go hand in hand.

On a job site, delays aren’t just inconvenient — they can also be budget-gutting, project-ending, and even life-threatening.

That’s why disputes need to be resolved as quickly and fairly as possible when they arise.

In fact, the AAA’s partnership with the construction industry dates back to at least the early 1930s.
