In this educational session, Jim Doyle, Principal Lawyer at Doyles Construction Lawyers, delivers a practical and comprehensive overview of dispute resolution in the construction industry — including why disputes arise, how strong contract administration prevents disputes, and how to choose the right resolution pathway before costs escalate.
This session covers the commercial realities of construction disputes, early intervention strategies, and the full spectrum of dispute mechanisms including negotiation, mediation, expert determination, arbitration, and litigation. It also provides an overview of NSW Security of Payment (SOPA) and the key principles courts apply when disputes reach formal determination.
This training is essential for contract administrators, builders, contractors, subcontractors, principals, developers, engineers, architects, project managers, and consultants involved in project delivery and risk management.
