According to a recent report by Arcadis entitled "Does
the construction industry learn from its mistakes?"the average
value of disputes in the UK construction industry has transformed
from being the lowest globally, to one of the highest. While the
principal causes of construction disputes may not have changed
greatly, the landscape in which they are unfolding certainly has.
With construction disputes continuing to grow in size and
complexity we speak to Victoria Russell, a consultant at Fenwick
Elliott LLP, to find out more. Victoria's wealth of experience
as a construction law specialist, including her recent award of The
Society of Construction Law's President Medal 2018 for her
outstanding contribution to construction law, means she is
perfectly placed to tell us about some of the developments she has
experienced.
