The webinar has been specifically designed to provide information, hints and tips to help corporate counsel working on dispute resolution matters. It also aims to give you first-hand insight into what the opposing party may be thinking across the negotiating table.
Through scenarios as seen from two different perspectives as counsel for employer and contractor, the webinar will cover an array of important issues including:
Preserving the relationship while resolving the dispute; Mediation and negotiation alternatives
Contractual disputes – “If it’s not in the contract…";
Dealing with multiple (unrelated) contractors/parties;
Disputes surrounding non-technical risk aspects (e.g., HSE, sustainable development, communities, human rights and other corporate social responsibility aspects) involving contractors and
