Major construction projects are proliferating in Asia as businesses seek out investment opportunities in higher growth Asian-markets. With those new investment opportunities comes the increased risk of disputes. Construction-related disputes can be time-consuming, complex and may have significant implications for project-completion.

The Kuala Lumpur Regional Centre for Arbitration (KLRCA) is delighted to offer a workshop on construction-related disputes in conjunction with practitioners from Freshfields Bruckhaus Deringer’s market-leading international arbitration practice. Drawing on their unparalleled experience in major construction-related contract and investment treaty disputes in Asia and around the world:

· Erin Miller-Rankin and Sarah-Jane Fick of Freshfields will share practical tips when faced with a construction dispute;

· Nicholas Lingard and Robert Kirkness of Freshfields will explain strategic investment treaty considerations;

· Belden Premaraj will discuss trends in the local construction market; and

· Smrithi Ramesh of KLRCA will draw upon the experiences of KLRCA in this expanding and complex field to moderate the discussion.

This workshop is a unique opportunity to gain an insight not only into effective management of complex arbitrations, but also how your business can take steps at the outset of a project to optimise your position in the event of a dispute. The workshop will conclude with a networking reception.
