ENGINEERING-FOCUSED MEDIATION
Mediation at SCECA is specifically designed to address the technical, contractual, and commercial complexities inherent in engineering and construction disputes.
The process is conducted with the assistance of a neutral mediator possessing both legal insight and specialized engineering understanding, enabling effective communication between the parties and facilitating practical, technically sound, and commercially balanced solutions.
Mediation remains a voluntary and non-binding process unless otherwise agreed by the parties.
When is Mediation Suitable?
SCECA mediation is particularly effective in disputes involving construction and infrastructure projects, FIDIC-based contracts, delay claims, variations, cost overruns, and technical disputes requiring expert-driven and commercially practical solutions.
