International dispute resolution - what the energy and construction sectors can learn from each other

Major energy and infrastructure projects, both new and those being decommissioned, typically involve a range of participants domiciled in different jurisdictions.   Large energy projects are notoriously complex. It is not uncommon for the energy generation solutions to be innovative, the materials and technologies involved new and the local geography challenging.Technology earmarked for the project also frequently moves on during the construction phase, necessitating changes to project planning, personnel and cost. In short, there can be unavoidable commercial disputes throughout such projects.Ken MacDonald and Christopher Duff, dispute resolution partners at Brodies LLP, discuss the increasing use of arbitration and adjudication in cross border disputes and how to effectively resolve such disputes and enforce decisions reached. Comparing sectors, Ken and Chis look at what the energy and the construction sectors can learn from each other.The information in this podcast was correct at the time of recording.
