Conflict-driven claims: Legal and practical strategies for managing construction risks in a volatile environment

In this session, Pinsent Masons, SIAC and leading maritime security experts will examine how the conflict in the Middle East has disrupted global energy supplies and critical maritime corridors, reshaping construction risk allocation, project costs and delivery timelines, and giving rise to often unresolved claims.

The session will explore the practical implications of supply chain volatility and sustained inflationary pressures, offering guidance on contractual risk management, mitigation strategies and the evidential challenges of conflict-related claims. Drawing on insights into the operational impacts on construction projects globally, the discussion will also feature reflections from SIAC on disputes arising from comparable crises.
