New Jersey law requires that alternative dispute resolution (ADR) be attempted before a lawsuit can proceed. This rule has the potential to save everyone involved a lot of time and money, but knowing what type of ADR is the best fit for a given situation, and which professional mediator or arbitrator to work with can be confusing. This panel of legal experts will explain the different types of ADR, the legal ramifications of each, and the role of the mediator. You'll also learn how agreements are enforced, the costs involved, and next steps in the event that disagreeing parties are unable to come to a resolution.

After a few years of many unforeseen global challenges, multifamily boards and managers have a lot to think about when it comes to the governance of their communities. The landscape of everyday operations, long-term planning, and communities' relationship to liability and insurance claims has changed, and changing climate conditions have ushered in a new era of intense weather events and flooding. Aging infrastructure and the risk it poses to property and personal safety has also become a serious concern. This panel will address all of these issues, including the fiduciary duty of boards to maintain the structural safety of their communities under the Condo and Multi-Dwelling Acts, conducting state mandated inspections and repairs, liability considerations, significant changes in the insurance market for 2024, and how to make your community more resilient in the face of flooding, storms, and other natural disasters.

In response to the 2021 Champlain Tower South Condominium collapse in Florida, Governor Phil Murphy took a crucial step toward ensuring building safety this past January by signing S2760/A4384, commonly referred to as the Structural Integrity Bill into law. 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.
