CONSTRUCTION
Delay liquidated damages and performance liquidated damages: what you should know
International | May 09 2016
Given the margins with which construction firms operate, the increasing number of claims filed and the growing influence of international organisations, one of the points often raised during construction contract negotiations is the inclusion of clauses limiting financial liability. Liquidated damages provisions for delays and performance provide a much-needed degree of certainty for both parties, although careful drafting is essential.
Limiting financial liability for contractors
International | March 21 2016
Due to certain restrictions on indemnity insurance cover, contractors cannot simply rely on their insurance to limit risks; they must also actively manage liability through other means. Consequently, contractual caps on liability are common in international projects. The first thing to consider is the basis on which the cap applies and what exclusions should apply.
Liquidated damages in EPC contracts
International | March 14 2016
Liquidated damages play an important role in ensuring that engineering, procurement and construction contracts are bankable. It is therefore vital to ensure that they are properly drafted so that contractors cannot avoid their liquidated damages liability on a legal technicality. It is also important to distinguish between the different types of performance liquidated damages to protect against allegations that they constitute a penalty.

INSURANCE & REINSURANCE
The Arbitration Clause In Insurance & Reinsurance
Global - October 20 2017
Recourse to alternative dispute resolution is expected to progress in terms of insurance and reinsurance contracts. In the field of reinsurance, a contract by which the direct insurer discharges a reinsurer of a portion of the insured risks, the arbitration is already used to resolve almost all the reinsured-reinsurer disputes. An agreement by which the parties to a contract undertake to submit to arbitration disputes arising in connection with the contract, the arbitration clause, is present in most reinsurance contracts. If these procedures are less frequent in insurance, the profession now promotes mediation and publishes rules to resolve between insurance companies any disputes related to an insurance contract.
Insurance brokerage under the Lebanese Law
Lebanon - September 6 2017
Unlike insurance providers, insurance brokers use their professional knowledge and experience to properly assess insurance needs, shop for the best value in insurance coverage and assist its client in the event of a claim. In other terms, an insurance broker or insurance agent sells, solicits, or negotiates insurance for compensation.
