Post-event Update on "Construction Law 101 (3rd run) (7, 13, 15 & 21 Nov 2012)

Attending a 4-day construction law course after office hours (with the Deepavali holiday in between) had sounded really daunting. But I was really pleased with my decision to go ahead with it, for what I got out of it was a lot more than what I expected.

The course was attended by engineers, quantity surveyors and project managers from various construction related firms – sub-contractors, main contractors, consultants and asset owners. What surprised me was that it was also attended by a dentist who is an avid learner of construction law.

I was honored by the opportunity to learn from Mr Mohan Pillay, an experienced lawyer in the field of construction law. He was an excellent speaker who painted a clear picture about the fundamentals of construction law. Technical concepts ranging from the contract and tort between parties to conditions precedent in standard form contracts were clearly explained by him, substantiated with engaging examples and leading authorities. He made difficult concepts easy to grasp.

It was certainly rewarding to attend this course – highly recommended for those who wish to enrich their knowledge in this field.
