Construction arbitrations are inevitably born out of contractors (or subcontractors) failed claims. Claims that have not persuaded the other side. Claims that for various reasons could not be settled by negotiation or by alternative dispute resolution procedures, such as mediation.
This presentation discusses the approach and strategy to be considered by parties and their representatives when arbitration is the only means left for a final resolution. The approach and strategy that can persuade the tribunal.
Cost: Access to this event is complimentary, however pre-registration is required.
