The Chartered Institute of Building (CIOB) has announced that its international intensive training seminar, the Masterclass, is to come to Brussels.

The Brussels event is part of the long-running series held across the globe, and organised by the CIOB in partnership with international construction consultancy Hill International, to address issues affecting the industry's top professionals.

The Brussels Masterclass will be held across two days on the 24 & 25 of November 2008 at The Plaza Hotel.

Experts from across the globe such as Andrew Burr, a barrister and editor of European Construction Contracts, and Thomas Hofbauer, a claims management consultant from Hill International's Munich office, are confirmed to appear.

The focus of the Brussels event is 'Delay and Disruption in Construction Contracts' with topics to include: Planning for excellence; Delay clauses in European and international contracts; The use of visualisations in disputes and valuation and analysis of disruption

Held throughout the world, the aim of the Masterclass is to disseminate the most up-to-date information to construction and legal professionals in a bid to cascade the information throughout the industry's larger organizations to minimise costly disputes.

A key focus of the Brussels event will be to address growing economic and legal issues which are leading to increased pressure upon companies to pursue litigation in disputes.

The conference will explore the different proactive and reactive approaches companies should now be adopting.

Stuart Wilks, Senior Manager from host and event sponsor, Hill International, explained: "This is a key event for anyone involved in the construction and legal process. With construction growth at a 12-year low, the industry is about to start feeling the inevitable effects of the current economic climate, which will undoubtedly see an increase in claims, disputes and litigation."
