P&P at the “FIDIC in Focus” Conference

We are delighted to have been part of the “FIDIC in Focus – Key Developments and Practical Applications in Construction Project and Arbitration” conference, held in Athens on January 16, 2025, by DLA Piper in partnership with ICC Hellas.

Our Senior Associate, Athanasia Stefanidou, joined esteemed professionals to explore the evolving landscape of construction law.

The conference spotlighted the pivotal role of FIDIC contracts in addressing challenges within the construction industry, both domestically and globally. While FIDIC contracts are a cornerstone of international construction projects, their adoption in Greece is still evolving. Given the limited framework of the Greek Civil Code for construction contracts and the relatively untested use of dispute resolution mechanisms like Dispute Adjudication Boards, the timing of this discussion is critical.

With Greece embarking on construction initiatives exceeding EUR 11 billion, the insights shared at this event offered valuable guidance for legal practitioners, in-house counsel, and industry leaders.

At P&P we look forward to continuing our contributions to the dialogue and supporting the industry with our expertise.
