Claim-path review

Dispute resolution / arbitration / venue ask language for the GC.

Venue, arbitration, jury waivers, and claim procedures can make a good payment claim too expensive to pursue.

Direct ask

Dispute resolution / arbitration / venue

Copy-paste ask

Can we make the dispute process mutual and local, and confirm it does not waive lien, bond, prompt-payment, or emergency remedies?

Use when the contract says

Contractor may elect arbitration or court in its sole discretion, and Subcontractor waives jury trial and pays Contractor's fees.

Ask the GC to move toward

Dispute procedures are mutual, local to the project or parties, proportionate to claim size, and do not waive lien, bond, prompt-payment, or emergency remedies.

Escalate if

Use counsel if the GC alone controls forum choice, fees are one-sided, or the clause could make a valid payment claim too expensive to pursue.
