The building, infrastructure and construction sector faces unique challenges when it comes to legal duties and responsibilities.

This masterclass is designed for practitioners in the construction industry interested in the basic principles of construction law. It will review general rights and obligations of contractors and employers, as well as time, payment, SOP and dispute related issues in construction contracts. It is principally designed for non-lawyers in the construction industry but lawyers seeking an introduction to this area may also be interested.

This masterclass also seeks to provide an introduction to the legal problems arising out of construction contracts. Many construction contracts are of high value and involve many parties: the customer (employer, principal); a (main) contractor; sub-contractors; suppliers and a range of professional advisers (architects, engineers, quantity surveyors). The interests of these parties often diverge and disputes are common.

Construction Law in 8 Hours Masterclass is a one stop for all updates including HR & OHS compliance, managing contractors and consultants, insurance and liabilities, contractual risks and concerns, as well as procurement and tender management.
