Networking | Alternative dispute resolution options for construction disputes
Join us and the I-Construct Network for our regular member networking event. These sessions are an opportunity for all members of the Network, large and small, to meet and talk with like-minded individuals within the construction sector.
Our virtual networking, via Zoom, provides you with maximum exposure to other attendees via our main forum and a mix of smaller breakout rooms for closer conversation. Plus, all our networking events are complemented with bitesize sessions from businesses within the field and beyond.
Meet your speaker:
Join us and Ian Seeley of Ellisons Solicitors on 23rd March to learn about a range of alternative dispute resolution (ADR) techniques that you could use to help resolve construction disputes quickly and cost-effectively.
Hear Ian’s brief overview of the statutory adjudication procedure, which is available for most construction disputes; and listen as Ian outlines some of the other popular alternatives, including mediation, expert determination and director-level review procedures.
If time allows, Ian will outline some examples of each option from his practice in this field over the last 14 years.
Learning outcomes/take-aways:
- Greater understanding of the statutory adjudication process, including its advantages and potential pitfalls.
- Knowledge of other alternatives to traditional court proceedings or arbitration.
- Ability to consider the pros and cons of dispute resolution clauses set out in construction contracts presented to you by an employer; and how those clauses might be improved for your benefit.
