On 2 June 2015, Eng. Aisha Nadar, Member of FIDIC Updates Task Group and IFC Consultant on the Construction Mediation Project, shed the light on the important role of the legal advisor in construction mediation before, during or after the mediation process. This multi-tiered role of the legal advisor, according to Eng. Nadar, involves, inter alia, the decision to mediate, the selection of the mediator, the preparation of the case and the case strategy, counseling the client during joint sessions, during private caucuses and finally during the settlement agreement once reached. The seminar witnessed interactive discussions among the lecturer and legal advisors in attendance.
