Construction Law and Strategies 2011
Why attend this conference?
A rough road still lies ahead for the construction industry. Competition for work remains fierce and industry participants must respond decisively if they are to survive the turbulent economic climate. Important legislative developments are changing practice and procedure at a time when the construction industry is already bracing itself for the long awaited Construction Act 2009. Following extensive spending cuts, industry participants may face a bleak future if survival strategies are not executed with precision.
Butterworths’ Construction Law 2011 conference will address the latest key developments in a concise, one day format. Featuring both plenary and streamed sessions, this conference will examine the foremost topical issues including the content of the new Construction Act, bribery and fraud in construction contracts, strategies for dealing with insolvency, and key updates in procurement law.
Chaired by Dominic Helps of Corbett & Co, our distinguished speaker panel will be on hand to offer strategic advice and guide you through the latest legislation and challenges.
The afternoon sessions have been streamed to offer topics of appeal to delegates in the contentious and non-contentious arenas and to those in both industry and private practice.
We are delighted to announce that the conference will feature an address by The Honourable Mr. Justice Akenhead on the experiences and future of the Technology and Construction Court.

- How will the Bribery Act affect traditional industry practices?
- What constitutes an unfair tendering process?
- What are the most effective methods of resolving a construction dispute without spiralling litigation costs?
- Are collateral warranties really dead?
