Winds of Change: Construction disputes and ancillary sustainability considerations from a practitioner and in-house perspective

DIS-Event

Veranstalter: DAA/DIS/NAI Arbitration Group

The construction industry is undergoing significant transformation, driven by evolving dispute resolution mechanisms and the integration of Environmental, Social, and Governance (ESG) strategies. These changes are reshaping how practitioners and in-house counsel approach construction projects, from inception to completion.

Construction projects, much like onshore and offshore wind farms, are inherently complex and require substantial financial investment. They involve a multitude of stakeholders, including developers, contractors and regulatory bodies, all working together across phases such as planning, construction, and maintenance. The long-term nature of these projects necessitates robust contractual agreements and collaborative effort to ensure successful outcomes.

As the industry embraces ESG strategies, there is an increasing focus on sustainable practices and ethical governance. This shift is not only influencing project execution but also impacting dispute resolution processes. Traditional mechanisms such as Dispute Adjudication Boards and arbitration are being adapted to address ESG-related challenges and ensure compliance with evolving standards.

Join the DAA/DIS/NAI Arbitration Group for an insightful discussion moderated by James M. Turner, KC (Quadrant Chambers), Jonas Hinrichsen (De Brauw Blackstone Westbroek) with seasoned international panelists, Davine Roessingh (De Brauw Blackstone Westbroek), Philipp Jäger (Gasunie) and Carlo Ottaviano (TenneT), as we explore the latest developments in construction dispute resolution and ESG strategies. We will delve into the factual and legal complexities these projects face, examine the effectiveness of current dispute resolution methods, and share experiences from the field. Are we adequately prepared to navigate the disputes arising from these transformative changes?
