Arzinger Law Office jointly with FIDIC - International Federation of Consulting Engineers are cordially inviting you to attend a seminar entitled “MAKING A SUCCESS OUT OF A CONSTRUCTION PROJECT: INTERNATIONAL FIDIC STANDARDS AND THEIR IMPLEMENTATION IN UKRAINE” to be held on 20 February 2013, 09:30-19:00 at President Hotel (12, Hospitalna St., Kyiv).

Behind a successful construction project always stands a well-balanced and elaborate contract which accommodates versatile and sometimes conflicting needs and interests of various project players. International Federation of Consulting Engineers (FIDIC) accumulates best practices of doing business in construction and offers risk management tools which are fit to international market standards and have been soundly tested to practice in many large-scale projects across the globe involving international funding. Implementation of the FIDIC standards in Ukraine will help facilitate intercourse among participants in complex development projects, contribute to the recovery of the construction market, encourage a more secure and eager financing by international investors and, in a broader context, enhance the investment appeal of Ukraine internationally as well as contribute to the recovery of the construction market and Ukrainian economy in general.

Who should attend: The event should be of a primary interest to development and engineering companies, engineers, designers and other consultants operating in the construction industry, legal counsels, investment experts, bankers, other practitioners and all those interested.
