The 9th biennial conference on “Construction Projects from Conception to Completion”, organised by the International Bar Association, will take place from 27 to 29 March 2025. The event, which brings together lawyers and construction sector experts, focuses on the legal and practical aspects of the implementation of construction projects in different parts of the world. It also provides an excellent platform for exchanging experiences and analysing trends impacting the construction and infrastructure sector.

Tomasz Darowski, Partner in the Infrastructure and Energy Practice and a specialist in construction law, will take part in a panel on risk shifting in construction contracts. Experts will discuss issues such as ground conditions, risks relating to adverse weather conditions, third party liability and limitation of liability clauses. Representatives from companies such as Shell, Itinera, Exequatur and STRABAG will also participate in the panel and will present the perspective of the various parties involved in the construction process.

During the conference, key topics will be discussed, such as:

• risk shifting in construction contracts,
• differences between design and as-built specifications,
• managing project delays,
• the role of BIM technology in project implementation,
• the application of construction law in common law and civil law systems.
