This one-week training course covers the FIDIC standard form contracts in practice.  FIDIC contracts lie at the heat of many international projects and a good understanding of the applicable law is required.  This intensive course builds on common law and civil principles and considers how FIDIC standard form processes operate in various legal systems.
The FIDIC 1999 suite of contracts and the new FIDIC 2017 Red, Yellow and Silver books are analysed.  Reference will also be made to older FIDIC contracts, such as the 1987 Red Book and 1995 Orange Book, in order to focus on particular aspects of the contracts in practice.
The course is offered to senior executive and is designed to equip talented commercial managers, engineers and lawyers with advanced legal, commercial and practical knowledge about FIDIC contracts and the legal background within which they operate.
