Leveraging Pressure Points For Favourable Settlements In Construction Disputes

The construction sector in the Middle East continues to experience accelerated growth. In tandem with this development, the number of construction claims in the MENA region has shown an upward trend. The increasing costs of litigation or arbitration alone provide incentives that propel disputing parties towards negotiations for a robust settlement that serves each party's practical and commercial objectives.

In light of this, being cognisant of pressure points at the outset of the dispute becomes intrinsic to advancing the prospects of a favourable settlement. In this article, we unpack essential tactics for preparing and presenting a construction claim before or during the litigation or arbitration phase to maximise the advantage of these pressure points.
