Select the dispute resolution route for engineering arbitration appropriate to value and relationship.
Engineering Arbitration and Resolving Construction Project Disputes
A structured, applied course in engineering arbitration — designed to be used the week you return.
Course Overview
A contract governing engineering arbitration that nobody administers is a document, not a control. Most contractual disputes about this strand of legal and contractual practice are decided by what was written, not what was intended. Practitioner evidence points the same way: the practice within legal and contractual practice improves fastest where responsibility for it is named and owned. Most organisations already have a policy on engineering arbitration; far fewer can show it working. The teaching approach is deliberately practical: participants build a contract template for this strand of legal and contractual practice as they go. The programme suits teams tackling the wider legal and contractual practice agenda together as readily as individuals attending alone. The outcome is a practitioner who can hold a position on engineering arbitration and revise it on evidence. Content is organised around the decisions practitioners actually face in this area of legal and contractual practice, not around theory headings. The programme ends where implementation begins, with the legal and contractual practice discipline broken into steps someone can start on Monday.
