On 4 December 2025, Hamish Lal Partners, in collaboration with Tahan – Cem Attorney Partnership, held a session at London Arbitration Week 2025 on “International Construction Arbitration – Pursuit of Effective Expert Evidence” at the offices of Alvarez & Marsal. Special thanks belong to our Trainee Solicitors, Ece Tahan and Deren Taşan, for skillfully moderating the session and posing insightful questions to our speakers.

The conversation with Professor John Uff CBE KC provided invaluable insight into the development of Construction Law. It was a true privilege to hear the personal and professional experiences of Professor Uff, who has made such a meaningful impact in the industry.

Distinguished panelists Maude Lebois, David Coyne, Andrew Drennan, and Çağrı Cem shared their expertise and experiences on expert evidence. The lively discussion delved into the distinction between expert evidence in civil and common law jurisdictions as well as the pros and cons of expert cooperation (Joint Statements and Hot-Tubbing).
