Navigating international EPC consortium disputes
4 Jun
11:00 - 12:30
Corporate & Commercial Disputes
EPC contractors on large international projects often comprise a group of companies of varying specialisms and nationalities, gathered under an unincorporated consortium umbrella. Their consortium arrangements can be thinly documented with little attention to scope split, interface and unity. Consortium deadlock can critically impact projects, derail negotiations with owners and subcontractors, and result in complex claims and disputes. Drawing on experiences, the panel will consider how to set consortiums up for success and, if disputes are inevitable, how to manage multiple and multi-party arbitrations.
