the future of dispute resolution in the Asia-Pacific region. It
will feature leading technical experts such as Dr Franco
Mastrandrea of Hill International, and lawyers such as Jonathan
Choo and Justyn Jagger of DLA Piper.
John Brells, Senior Vice President and
Managing Director of Hill International Asia Pacific region said,
"Although the local and international economy is beginning to
recover, and Singapore's skyline is seeing increasing numbers of
construction cranes, there are still significant risks in
construction. As has been seen in prominent projects throughout the
region, such as the Sports Hub and Marina Bay Sands, delays and
disruption can have significant impacts on project and financial
success.
"The Masterclass provides a great opportunity
to share knowledge and information between legal and technical
experts from around the world. We're delighted to be hosting the
latest of these events in this region. This latest Masterclass has
been carefully tailored to ensure it provides the most useful and
pertinent information to all attendees from architects and
developers to contractors, lawyers and all those involved in the
