J&T Consulting offers clients full legal support for the Dispute Board (DB) mechanism, covering both its implementation and administration, as well as representation before the Dispute Board.

The Dispute Board represents an alternative mechanism for dispute resolution/prevention, which is typically used in long-term, especially construction and infrastructure contracts (including FIDIC type contracts) and aims at the avoidance and effective management of disagreements arising during the period of the contract's operation.

Organization and Management of the Dispute Board

Our team carries out the organization and management of the Dispute Board. We can prepare Dispute Board rules for the specific project and the needs of the parties, and add the DB mechanism to the contract structure. We assist parties in the selection and appointment of board members. In the event of a dispute, we provide legal advice and represent the client before the Dispute Board: we analyze factual and legal circumstances, prepare statements, positions, and relevant evidence, and participate in hearings and meetings. If necessary, we provide support regarding the enforcement of DB decisions.

Trainings on the Dispute Board

With the aim of promoting the Dispute Board institute and facilitating its practical use, J&T Consulting periodically conducts thematic trainings on the Dispute Board, where the basic principles of DB operation, ways to correctly incorporate it into contracts, and current international practice are discussed in detail. Additional information on trainings held on the subject of the Dispute Board is available in the trainings section of our website.
