Key aspects and challenges associated with ADR in the construction and energy sectors

Presentation

As construction and energy projects grow in scale, complexity, and cross-border involvement, alternative dispute resolution (ADR) has become an increasingly vital tool for managing risk and preserving commercial relationships. This panel will explore the key aspects of ADR in the construction and energy sectors, including when and how ADR mechanisms are most effective, the practical challenges parties face in their implementation, and the role of technical, legal, and commercial considerations in shaping outcomes. Drawing on real project and dispute experience, the discussion will offer practical insights into navigating ADR strategies in some of the most dispute-prone industries globally.
