Programme Highlights

: Managing construction claims and disputes is often a frustrating exercise. It is

time-consuming and costly, and the outcome is not always the best one would

hope for. You soon find out you cannot really sub-contract or delegate

everything to your lawyers or experts, as they keep coming back to you with more

questions or requests. In this CPD, Rachel will look into some common

difficulties and discuss how a construction manager and his team may use and

rationalize the dispute resolution process to minimize the risks and frustrations

for all that are involved. In particular, Rachel will talk about practical tips and

measures which could be adopted during the contract stage prior to the formal

disputes arising that could save time and money, and ultimately enhance the

prospects of a successful claim or defence, or a timely settlement.
