With the support of I-Construct you can access new business opportunities, improve your profitability, increase your expertise, and achieve sustainable growth with innovation.

Join the I-Construct Network for regular member networking event. These sessions are an opportunity for all members of the Network, large and small, to meet and talk with like-minded individuals within the construction sector.

Their virtual networking, via Zoom, provides you with maximum exposure to other attendees via the main forum and a mix of smaller breakout rooms for closer conversation. Plus, all networking events are complemented with bitesize sessions from businesses within the field and beyond.

Meet the speaker:

Join Ian Seeley of Ellisons Solicitors on 23rd March to learn about a range of alternative dispute resolution (ADR) techniques that you could use to help resolve construction disputes quickly and cost-effectively.

Hear Ian’s overview of the statutory adjudication procedure, which is available for most construction disputes; and listen as Ian outlines some of the other popular alternatives, including mediation, expert determination and director-level review procedures.

If time allows, Ian will outline some examples of each option from his practice in this field over the last 14 years.

Learning outcomes/take-aways:

  • Greater understanding of the statutory adjudication process, including its advantages and potential pitfalls.
  • Knowledge of other alternatives to traditional court proceedings or arbitration.
  • Ability to consider the pros and cons of dispute resolution clauses set out in construction contracts presented to you by an employer; and how those clauses might be improved for your benefit.
