[Webinar] Securing Your Cash Flow : Managing Payment Risks In Construction Projects

Introduction

Payment is consistently one of the most complex and high-risk issues in the construction industry. It often leads to legal disputes and severely impacts project timelines and the financial stability of all parties involved. For instance, delayed payments from an employer can trigger a domino effect, causing significant difficulties for subcontractors, suppliers, and workers, which ultimately brings projects to a halt. Numerous disputes have had to be resolved through litigation or arbitration, incurring substantial costs in time and money and jeopardizing the overall success of the project.

The root causes of payment disputes are diverse. They can stem from poorly drafted contracts, ineffective contract administration, or a lack of suitable measures to mitigate and resolve issues proactively.

To accompany businesses and industry professionals in mastering effective strategies and solutions, CNC Counsel is pleased to co-host with the Vietnam Traders Arbitration Centre (VTA) a webinar on the topic:
