The Employer’s Agent / Contract Administrator to Project Manager holds the critically important task of administering the contract. They wear multiple hats whilst managing their client, typically the end user or developer, the contractor, the design team and then they are the party who first gives judgement on payment, instructions, defects, EOT claims, loss and expense claims. With all of these factors and competing elements there are often cries of bias or unprofessional conduct. In this talk we explore the reality of the situation with a panel of speakers.

• Daniel Miller, a director of Project Management at international consultancy Gleeds provides the real life perspective of the EA;

• Caroline Watkins a construction partner at Thomson Snell & Passmore LLP, the oldest law firm in the UK, provides the view experienced by Contractor’s and claimants

• Helena White

Please let one of the Committee know if you would like to stay to network over drinks/dinner.
