SCL Singapore held a seminar entitled ‘Construction Project Execution Risks in Conflict Zones’ on 2 November 2017. Ms. Erin Miller Rankin and Ms. Sarah-Jane Fick, both from Freshfields Bruckhaus Deringer LLP, were the speakers for the evening.

The issues in conflict zones that were discussed included the evacuation of employees, the increased cost of business and the lack of security. Other topics covered were issues on legal protection, in particular on investment treaties and force majeure clauses, as well as practical mitigation measures that addressed ‘what to do when the conflict begins’ and Political Risk Insurance (PRI).

The seminar ended with a Q&A session followed by a networking session where delegates mingled and got to know each other. It was an informative and enjoyable evening with SCL Singapore.
