Managing in Crisis - The Potential Impact on Construction Contracts

Summary

Please note: this event is for over 18’s only.

In this current time of increasing global uncertainty and geopolitical conflict, construction projects are facing unprecedented commercial, legal, and operational pressures.

This presentation explores how evolving global and market conditions are impacting construction contracts and risk allocation. It examines the use of key contractual mechanisms such as force majeure and hardship provisions, alongside the increasing importance of cost escalation and price adjustment clauses in managing financial uncertainty.

The session also considers broader risk considerations, including site safety and duty of care, the effects of sanctions and regulatory restrictions, and the role of insurance in protecting projects and parties in an increasingly complex environment.

Key topics include:

• Force majeure and hardship
• Cost escalation and price adjustment
• Site safety and duty of care
• Sanctions, restrictions, and compliance
• Insurance and risk management
