The international event, focusing on risk assessment, managing change, delay and disruption within the construction and civil engineering industries, will be held in Abu Dhabi, at the Shangri-La Qaryat Al Beri on the 2nd and 3rd of June 2009.

Stuart Wilks, Senior Manager, Hill International, UK, said:
"Hill International and CIOB have been successfully running these Masterclasses for nine years now. This is the third such event in the UAE and the first to focus on the current economic climate."


"The Masterclass enables delegates to learn how to deal with project suspensions, disputes and other issues while offering invaluable networking opportunities. With over 14 hours of CPD, awareness in the subjects and issues discussed has become indispensable for all construction and legal professionals," Wilks added.

The intensive two-day event will put together a unique panel of top calibre technical and legal experts who will discuss the successful management of projects, claims and retrospective analysis with exceptional and detailed content. The speakers are among the foremost in their field and will be on hand to provide the latest technical and legal advice.

With increasing concerns surrounding the construction industry both in the UAE and globally, the aim is to help contractors minimize and manage risks of disputes to ensure continuous business and financial success.

The first day of the Masterclass will highlight the successful use and implementation of the latest best practices to proactively manage risks of change and disruption, and avoid delay. The second day will focus on the analysis of change, delay and disruption retrospectively, and presentation of claims for loss and expense in different forums using a variety of methods to understand what the law is looking for in dispute resolution today.
