This interactive workshop, delivered in partnership with Clarkslegal LLP and RJC Consultants, will provide a practical introduction to the adjudication process, the most commonly used form of dispute resolution in the construction industry. You will learn how to maximise prospects for successful pursuit and defence of contractual claims.
The workshop will stage a mock adjudication that re-enacts typical procedures and addresses typical issues that arise, to ensure you understand the entire process of adjudication and its application, and how to maximise the opportunities and minimise the threats inherent in the process.
The workshop will have equal relevance to public and private sector clients/end users, main and specialist build contractors and consultants.
