About the event
Arbitration may be the most appropriate dispute resolution mechanism in many circumstances. This event is designed to respond to some of the most common issues that arise in practice in Victoria, where arbitration is used and in circumstances where it is not. After an introduction of ACICA and Arbitration Victoria, we will have two panels:
• The Psychology of Decision-Making
• Complex Projects, Complex Disputes: Why Arbitration is Critical to Australia’s Key Industries
CONFIRMED SPEAKERS INCLUDE:
• The Hon Susan Crennan AC KC
• Dr Michael Pryles AO PBM
• Nick Longley, HFW
• Brigid Lloyd, MolinoCahill
• Diana Bowman, Bouygues Construction
• Chris Horsfall, CPB Contractors
• Jonathan McTigue, HWL Ebsworth
A drinks reception generously hosted by Herbert Smith Freehills will follow the discussion.
Attendance is $50. Discounts are available for ACICA members at $35. Proceeds will go towards the ACICA Education Fund, which supports the ACICA Pacific Islands Practitioner Scholarship Program (see here).
