Construction & Engineering Arbitration Workshop
Building Fairness: Construction Arbitration in Indonesia and Beyond

Overview

Major construction and infrastructure disputes are rarely lost in the hearing room. They are often determined much earlier — in contract drafting, risk allocation, and strategic positioning.

This one-day executive workshop is designed to provide senior legal, commercial, and project professionals with a structured and practical understanding of how construction and engineering disputes are framed, argued, and decided in arbitration.

Focusing on real-world EPC exposure, contract architecture, claims strategy, and tribunal reasoning, the programme bridges the critical gap between drafting decisions and arbitral outcomes.
