Dentons Link Legal is pleased to announce the launch of “Building Perspectives: Construction Arbitration | Thought Leadership Series 2026”, a three-part programme dedicated to exploring emerging trends, challenges and best practices in the resolution of construction and infrastructure disputes.
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, the series will bring 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 Thought Leadership Series will comprise two webinars and a full-day in-person seminar, offering practical insights into the management, avoidance and resolution of complex construction and infrastructure disputes from legal, technical and commercial perspectives.
