Overview

This webinar will share key information and advice to support those working on infrastructure contracts.

Having set the scene on dispute resolution, and the work of the ICE Dispute Resolution Committee, the presentation will cover the importance of avoiding and resolving dispute matters - for civil engineers and for society, including the need for civil engineers to engage more in the legal and commercial aspects of their work. There will also be consideration of the links to good practice in delivering the UN Sustainable Development Goals. Finally, there will be discussion on how practitioners can improve their skills and experience in dispute resolution, including potential courses available and pathways to progression.

James Golden will be supported for the discussion by colleagues from the ICE Dispute Resolution Committee, Seán Bradley and Paul McErlean.
