Given the complexity of issues and the amounts that are typically involved in construction disputes – particularly those arising from large-scale development projects – preparing early and properly for a potential construction dispute is an important process, but one which can be time-consuming and expensive. Preparing for a potential construction dispute where a formal dispute is likely, but may or may not ultimately arise, can therefore be a balancing act. So how can a party best prepare itself in these circumstances?
We are pleased to share with you a podcast by Herbert Smith Freehills' Construction & Infrastructure Group in which we discuss the legal and practical considerations where a potential construction dispute is on the horizon.
