Construction & engineering

Delay, defect and payment disputes on major construction, infrastructure and EPC projects.

Construction arbitrations often involve complex programmes, variations, site instructions and the sequence in which things actually happened. We sit in disputes arising from infrastructure, plant and building projects across Asia, the Middle East and Europe, under both common law and civil law governed contracts.

Typical disputes

  • Delay, disruption and extension of time
  • Variations and change orders
  • Defects and performance shortfalls
  • Payment, certification and final account
  • EPC, subcontract and consultancy agreements
  • Site conditions and unforeseen ground risk

Selected appointments

  • President in an ICC arbitration involving a construction dispute (Singapore seat, Vietnamese and Singapore law)
  • Sole arbitrator in a DIAC arbitration arising out of a construction subcontract (Dubai seat, Dubai law)
  • President in an UNCITRAL Rules arbitration involving a pipeline construction project (Dhaka seat, Bangladeshi law)
