Selected international project and dispute experience
Equitas brings experience from major international construction and engineering projects across transport, highways, rail, power, water, utilities, marine, commercial development and industrial facilities. The matters shown below illustrate the breadth of our work in construction claims, delay and quantum analysis, FIDIC advisory, dispute boards and international arbitration.
This page demonstrates representative construction project experience, sector-specific dispute insight and international claims and arbitration capability.
Representative experience that
supports credibility
A specialist construction disputes practice should be able to show not only services, but also the type of projects and dispute settings in which those services have been applied. Equitas has advised on live projects and formal disputes across highways, rail, power, water, marine infrastructure, industrial facilities, commercial developments and public infrastructure programmes.
The experience below illustrates sector breadth, contractual context, regional reach and the kinds of issues encountered in delay, quantum, claims and dispute resolution work.
“Representative experience is useful not because it lists projects, but because it shows the contractual, technical and dispute environments in which advice has actually been developed and tested.”
A highways dispute, a water infrastructure claim and a power plant arbitration each involve different programme logic, technical interfaces, valuation issues and procedural demands.
Experience across 29 jurisdictions
Equitas has worked on construction disputes, claims and arbitration matters across Europe, the CIS, Middle East, Africa and South Asia — spanning highways, power, water, marine, commercial and industrial sectors.
