As the year begins, many in the construction industry are reviewing the disputes, claims, and lessons that shaped their projects in 2025. International construction arbitration continues to be demanding, shaped by technically complex records, evolving contractual frameworks, and growing expectations for timely and fair resolution of disputes.
Looking ahead, several issues will continue to dominate construction arbitrations across jurisdictions. Delay and disruption claims, risk allocation under FIDIC and NEC contracts, liquidated damages, and failures in contract administration remain central to many proceedings, regardless of sector or project size.
This Construction Arbitration Handbook collects practical notes based on Aceris Law’s experience with international construction disputes in 2025. Each chapter covers a common issue in arbitration and explains how tribunals, experts, and lawyers handle it in real cases, focusing on clear, efficient, and practical solutions.
Intended as a practical reference, the handbook serves contractors, employers, in-house legal teams, counsel, and arbitrators working internationally. It supports improved risk management at the contract and project stages, and more effective dispute resolution as parties prepare for the challenges of 2026 and beyond.
The full handbook is available for download here.
We hope you find the handbook useful as you look ahead to the year to come. Happy reading!
