Event details
DWF's Infrastructure, Construction and Energy team are delighted to be hosting our flagship annual Construction Conference: Licence to build, on Tuesday 3 November at our London office.
From AI governance and corporate liability to complex claims, restitution remedies and the successful delivery of major projects, our expert panels will explore the legal, commercial and strategic challenges shaping the construction industry today.
Programme
- Dr No Entitlement: Modern projects are built around intricate extension of time mechanisms, notice provisions and concurrency clauses. But can an employer still lose the protection of its liquidated damages regime through its own actions?
- No time to hide: Corporate group liability after the Building Safety Act: Whether you are seeking recovery, defending claims or managing corporate risk, there's currently a fundamental shift in courts showing willingness to look beyond original contracting party. We will find out how to address this in light of insolvency risks, acquisitions and corporate structuring.
- Live and let AI?: As AI moves from an experimental gadget to business-critical tool, the challenge is ensuring innovation doesn't become a licence to kill project outcomes. The panel will explore how businesses can strike the right balance between innovation and oversight.
- Skyfall or success?: During this interactive debate with the audience, we will unveil which standard form of contract deserves to be crowned the industry's ultimate choice.
