In Construction & Engineering, resolving disputes in arbitration is an integral part of the standard forms of building and engineering contracts, such as the Joint Contract Tribunal (“JCT”) and the Institution of Civil Engineers (“ICE”) suite of contracts within the UK. Internationally this would be the International Federation of Consulting Engineers, more popularly known by its French acronym (“FIDIC”), standard forms of contract.
The highly technical nature of these forms of contracts renders dispute resolution in a specialised arbitration more effective and efficient. To discuss your legal enquiry related to construction, please call our clerks on 020 3993 6412 (London) or send your details.
