Role in Construction Law / Dispute Resolution

I am interested to direct my career into the area of Construction Law / Dispute Resolution over the coming years, and am wondering what experience / background I would need.

 

Is it as clear cut as requiring a Construction Law degree or are their any other avenues, What range of opportunites are there in that side of the industry for a Chartered Project Planner?

 

Any thoughts welcome

 

Thanks

 

Tony

    Hi Tony

    You will certainly need a law degree and then you will have to become a member of an august body such as the Institute of Arbitrators.

    The route for this is usually through membership of the RICS or CIOB or even the RIBA who administer the appointments of Adjudicators.

    For Mediation you can just put your name on the web and wait for custom - but don't give up the day job.

    In the meantime you may benefit from joining the Society of Construction Law.

    Best regards

    Are there firms out there who willingly sponsor their staff to undertake Part Time Construction Law Degrees, or would you be expected to fund it yourself and complete the degree course before even being considered for a role with a consultant who specialises in such an area?

    Hi Tony

    In the current employment market there is no altruistic spare cash to pay for such sponsored training.

    Sorry but you are on your own.

    You can always try my route - Self trained and well read plus a basic RADA training.

    Good luck and best regards
