Certificate Course In Construction Arbitration

Course Synopsis

This 3-day course is designed to provide a comprehensive understanding of construction arbitration, a key method of dispute resolution in the construction industry. As construction projects often involve complex contractual relationships, timely and effective dispute resolution becomes crucial to avoid project delays and cost overruns. Arbitration, as an alternative to traditional litigation, offers a flexible, efficient, and private method for resolving construction disputes.

In this course, participants will delve into the core principles, processes, and practices of construction arbitration, including how arbitration clauses are drafted, the steps involved in initiating arbitration, the role of the arbitrator, and the enforcement of arbitral awards. The course will also cover key aspects such as jurisdiction, procedural fairness, and challenges to arbitral decisions, with a particular focus on the practical application of construction arbitration under Nigerian law and international best practices.

Through case studies and practical examples, participants will gain hands-on knowledge and insights into resolving construction disputes, and how to manage the arbitration process effectively from both a legal and technical perspective.
