ICC Institute of World Business Law Advanced Training on Dispute Boards
Programme originally developed by: David Brown and Cecilia Misu
A Dispute Board (DB) is a method commonly used in complex long-term projects, from joint ventures to engineering and construction projects. It involves an independent committee established by the parties to the construction contract and are, usually, in place from the commencement of the project.
Our one-day DB training is an intensive program designed to equip participants with the skills and expertise they need to enhance dispute avoidance and become familiar with the Dispute Adjudication Board (DAB) process, so that they can confidently act as a dispute board member and advise or represent their clients establishing the DB and manage ongoing operations for maximum effectiveness.
The training will start with an introductory overview of the origins of the DB process. It will include interactive exercises and business case for their use on projects centered around construction issues.
The training will also address topics such as decision writing and challenges of organizing virtual site visits and hearings.
