This intensive one-day workshop offers a deep dive into the multi-tier dispute resolution mechanisms embedded within FIDIC contracts. It focuses on the roles of both the Engineer and the Dispute Board (DB) in facilitating the avoidance and resolution of disputes.
Through a blend of presentations and practical exercises, participants will explore best practices for dispute avoidance, understand the procedures for dispute resolution under FIDIC, and learn how effective contract management can contribute to smoother project delivery. This workshop is designed to provide a balanced mix of theoretical understanding and hands-on application, equipping participants with the knowledge and skills to minimise disputes and manage them effectively when they arise.
