Greetings from CILS Arbitration Symposium!!! Session 4: Construction Arbitrations: Lessons for Counsel and Arbitrators in Other Complex Arbitrations This panel will focus on lessons from construction arbitrations that have broader applicability, such as resolving multi-party disputes, handling expert evidence, and understanding the needs and perspectives of in-house counsel, rather than delving into highly specific issues unique to construction arbitrations like critical path analysis or productivity analysis for disruption claims. Construction arbitrations are inherently complex and have distinct features, but the insights gained from them can benefit arbitrations in other sectors. Similarly, construction industry practitioners can learn from experiences in general commercial and other industry-specific arbitrations. #ConstructionArbitration #MultiPartyDisputes #ExpertEvidence #InHouseCounsel #ProjectLifecycle #ArbitrationLessons #DisputeResolution #CommercialArbitration #IndustryInsights

Unsure of the Best Dispute Resolution Method for Your Project? ️ RICS APC Candidates! Negotiation, mediation, arbitration, adjudication... navigating dispute resolution options can be tricky. At APC Revision, we've got you covered. Our article gives a quick overview of the key differences between these methods: o Level of Formality: Negotiation is most informal, while adjudication is most formal (think court hearings). o Third-Party Role: Negotiation involves none, while arbitration has a party issuing a binding decision. o Control Over Outcome: Negotiation offers the most control, while arbitration gives the least. o Time & Cost: Negotiation can be quick and cheap, while arbitration is more expensive and time-consuming. o Confidentiality: Negotiation can be confidential, while adjudication decisions might be public. o Suitability: Negotiation suits minor disagreements, while adjudication is for construction disputes. o Choosing the right method is key! Our website (link in bio) has in-depth resources to help you navigate dispute resolution for your APC and future career. #RICSAPC #RICS #DisputeResolution #Construction #CharteredSurveyor #MRICS #Revision #Success

It is my pleasure to share with you that I have successfully finished the course under the heading of "Preparing, Organizing and Managing Engineering Contracts". The course was conducted over five days with 25 accredited hours and discussed mainly the following aspects: 1- FIDIC Contracts. 2- Terms of contracts and roles of contracts' parties. 3- Dispute resolution and arbitration. #FIDIC #contracts #Arbitration #Dispute

Effectively countering the other side's position in a construction arbitration requires you to: (1) have an iron-clad understanding of the contract and applicable law to dismantle any interpretations favourable to the other side (2) curate the documentary evidence that undermines the opposing arguments in a clear and logical manner (3) review the evidence and arguments so that you can anticipate their line of attack and rebut each point (4) challenge the other side's documents and expose any inconsistencies, biases or gaps (5) preemptively addressing the weaknesses in your case to demonstrate your transparency and confidence (6) frame your counterarguments in the context of fairness, good faith and the reasonable expectations of the parties in the contract (7) keep your cool under pressure, listen carefully, and be ready to swiftly respond to any new arguments or evidence presented by the other side The key is to outmanoeuvre the other side at every turn - anticipating their moves, undermining their credibility, and presenting a clear, compelling narrative that demonstrates why you are correct ___________________ If you want more of these insights, sign up for my newsletter: https://lnkd.in/g_mQDNGB ___________________
