In today’s complex construction landscape, joint ventures are essential for tackling large-scale projects, sharing risks, and leveraging complementary expertise. However, these partnerships also bring unique legal challenges that can jeopardize success if not properly managed. Join us for an insightful seminar that explores the legal intricacies of joint ventures in the construction industry, from structuring agreements to resolving disputes. Will Stroll and Peter Jang will examine common issues that arise between joint venture partners, while Joanna Seetoh will discuss key considerations that employers typically have when engaging joint venture contractors.

“Good communication is just as stimulating as black coffee, and just as hard to sleep after.” We’re excited to host the inaugural AWiCS-SCL(S) small-group networking session, designed to encourage meaningful conversations and build stronger connections in an intimate setting. This month, join us for a relaxed morning of coffee, conversation, and connection, generously hosted by Lume Studio. Whether you're on-site, in the office, or somewhere in between, this casual breakfast gathering is a great opportunity to connect with fellow professionals from across the construction industry.

The construction industry remains heavily reliant on manual labour, making it particularly vulnerable to productivity losses caused by disruption. Despite advances in design, coordination, and project management, inefficiencies on-site continue to erode project margins. Identifying, analyzing, and quantifying disruption—particularly loss of productivity—remains a persistent challenge. This seminar explores established and emerging approaches to quantifying disruption, assessing their relative reliability and practical application. It also presents insights from a study of approximately 200 legal cases involving productivity loss, offering a data-driven view of how different methods are received by courts and tribunals. Key contractual and legal considerations in successfully recovering disruption-related claims will also be discussed.

SCL(S) members (and their guests) and members of our reciprocal partners are warmly invited to join us at the Society’s 14th Annual Dinner for a decadent 5-course dinner with free flow wines, beers and soft drinks...
