Overview

A Dispute Board is involved with the project or venture from inception through to completion and has ‘hands on’ knowledge of every aspect of the process. The Dispute Board knows the parties, knows their goals and objectives, and can act efficiently to prevent a dispute from arising or, if one does, to give a decision in some cases.

Learn the skills needed to become an effective Dispute Board member. Learn about the concept, history, governing law, and practice of Dispute Boards internationally, and qualify as a member of the RICS Dispute Board Register.

Learning objectives

Explore the administration of Dispute Boards, including site visits and meetings, and develop skills in drafting various documents and effectively communicating within the board and with involved parties.

Gain insights into conducting effective site visits, including preparation, agendas, and handling matters of concern. Develop skills in managing potential conflicts of interest and dealing with difficult parties throughout the dispute resolution process.
