When a major project begins to unravel, can you fix it without weakening your commercial position in a future arbitration?
Through discussion and contrasting perspectives, the panellists will examine the challenges that arise as projects move towards dispute: the warning signs, how emerging risks can look different to different stakeholders, and the actions available to those seeking to address problems before positions become entrenched.
Drawing on practical experience, the session will consider the decisions that can influence whether a troubled project recovers or develops into a significant claim. Panellists will explore how to balance the demands of project delivery with contractual protection, the role of project reviews and contemporaneous records, and the sometimes difficult relationship between commercial collaboration and legal positioning.
The discussion will offer perspectives on recognising dispute risk earlier, considering when and how to intervene, and managing the interests of both the project and the organisation.
