As infrastructure and construction projects become increasingly complex, capital-intensive and cross-border in nature, disputes relating to delay, disruption, expert evidence, contract administration and project execution continue to evolve across jurisdictions.
Against this backdrop, Dentons Link Legal is pleased to present the Construction Arbitration Series 2026, a three-part thought leadership programme bringing together leading international arbitrators, industry experts, in-house counsel, claims consultants and disputes practitioners to discuss some of the most pressing issues shaping construction arbitration today.
The series will comprise two webinars and a full-day in-person seminar, providing practical insights into the management, avoidance and resolution of complex construction and infrastructure disputes through legal, technical and commercial perspectives.
