ICLA: Megaprojects at home and abroad

We are pleased to announce that Helen Collie will be speaking at ICLA 2026, taking place on 19–20 May 2026 in Dublin, Ireland, hosted at the iconic Irish Museum of Modern Art (IMMA)

This landmark international conference will bring together senior legal, commercial and technical professionals to address one of the most pressing challenges facing the construction industry today: the successful delivery of megaprojects through innovative contracting and delivery models.

The 2026 conference theme, Megaprojects at home and abroad: Delivery models for project success and dispute avoidance, will explore how modern project delivery and contracting approaches can improve outcomes on large-scale infrastructure and construction projects, while reducing the risk of disputes. Through expert-led sessions and global case studies, the programme will examine how these models are being applied in practice and how they can be adapted to different legal and regulatory environments.

The ICLA 2026 Conference is designed for senior decision-makers and practitioners involved in megaproject delivery, including:

• Government Officials and Policymakers: Responsible for infrastructure planning, procurement policy and regulatory frameworks
• Construction Law Practitioners: Lawyers specialising in major projects, international contracts and dispute resolution
• Major Contractors and Developers: Organisations delivering or pursuing megaproject opportunities
• Project Finance Professionals: Banks, funds and advisors involved in infrastructure financing
• Engineering and Design Firms: Providers of technical and advisory services on major projects
• Dispute Resolution Professionals: Arbitrators, mediators and adjudicators specialising in construction
• Academic Researchers: Scholars focused on project delivery, construction law and infrastructure policy

Helen will contribute her expertise as part of the conference programme, sharing insights drawn from her experience advising on complex construction and infrastructure matters. Her session will form part of the broader discussion on effective project delivery and dispute avoidance in large-scale projects.

Further details on Helen’s session and the full conference agenda will be announced by the organisers in due course.
