3 DISPUTE BOARDS HKA CONTACTS 4 HKA has extensive experience of representing clients in dispute board and contract adjudication proceedings on many of the largest and most complex construction projects in the world. Dispute boards and contract adjudication are party agreed mechanisms for the independent and impartial deciding of disputes that arise between parties on construction and engineering projects. BENEFITS The benefits of dispute boards and contract adjudication include the fast-track and real-time giving of decisions during the currency of a project by one or three independent persons selected and appointed by the parties. Early decisions allow parties to proceed with certainty and prevent the stacking-up of disputes at the end of projects. Standing dispute boards and contract adjudicators act throughout the duration of a contract and carry the advantages of building up extensive knowledge of a project and its evolving issues as well as establishing trust and mutual respect with the parties. the majority of dispute board and contract adjudication decisions finally 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. SERVICES HKA provides the full range of expert services needed for the securing of favourable decisions, including: Dispute strategy and management of proceedings, including hearings Written and oral advocacy of case Expert witness reports Dealing with jurisdictional and other types of challenge Amicable settlement and without prejudice negotiations For more information, contact enquiries@hka.com BENJAMIN HIGHFIELD PARTNER, DUBAI benhighfield@hka.com SIMON LONGLEY PARTNER, DUBAI simonlongley@hka.com PETER ATKINSON PARTNER, SINGAPORE peteratkinson@hka.com 5 These result in an effective dispute resolution process, and explain why LEE BAKER DIRECTOR, SINGAPORE leebaker@hka.com
