Building Contracts & Construction Disputes: Managing Risk Workshop

Cost: £0.00 - £25.00

The session is aimed at directors, commercial managers, project managers, consultants, subcontractors and in-house legal teams, and others in the construction sector seeking to understand the latest legal developments and the practical steps that can be taken to protect their business, projects and profitability.

Topics will include:

· Reviewing building contracts and identifying key risk provisions before signing;

· Collateral warranties and third-party rights, including common pitfalls and negotiation strategies;

· Insurance obligations and ensuring adequate protection throughout the project lifecycle;

· The impact of the Building Safety Act and evolving building safety obligations;

· Extended liability under the Defective Premises Act and the implications for completed projects and historic works;

· Construction disputes, including litigation, adjudication, negotiation and alternative dispute resolution;

· Preserving contractual claims and defending allegations relating to defects, delay and performance; and

· Practical strategies for avoiding disputes and resolving issues before they escalate into formal proceedings.

Attendees will leave with a clearer understanding of the contractual and dispute risks currently shaping the construction sector, together with practical measures that can be implemented immediately within their organisations to reduce risk, protect commercial positions and avoid costly disputes.
