Dispute boards and contract adjudication are party-agreed mechanisms for independently and impartially deciding disputes on construction and engineering projects. One or three independent persons are selected and appointed by the parties. These methods offer the benefits of ‘fast-track’ and ‘real-time’ decisions made during the project. Early decisions allow parties to proceed with certainty and prevent disputes stacking-up at the end of projects.

How we can help

We represent clients in dispute board and contract adjudication proceedings on many of the largest and most complex construction projects in the world. Our teams draw on HKA’s unmatched multi-disciplinary technical expertise and deep experience of dispute investigation and resolution.

As standing dispute boards and contract adjudicators act through the duration of a contract, they have the advantage of being able to building up extensive knowledge of your project and its evolving issues, as well as trust and mutual respect with the parties. This makes for an effective dispute resolution process – most dispute board and contract adjudication decisions fully resolve party disputes or facilitate amicable settlement by the parties themselves.

Dispute boards and contract adjudication have become standard features of the most widely used international forms of contract. HKA provides the full range of expert services needed to secure favourable decisions, including:

  • Dispute strategy and management of proceedings, including hearings
  • Written and oral advocacy of case
  • Expert witness reports
  • Handling of jurisdictional and other types of challenge
  • Amicable settlement and without-prejudice negotiations
