Peter Woodward (Solicitor), Senior Legal Counsel, Mott MacDonald Ltd
"I would like to provide you with a reference for the recent seminar (The Practical Use of the 1999 FIDIC Conditions of Contract For Construction and Plant & Design-Build) presented by Robert Cochrane and yourself on 3rd and 4th November last at the ICE in Great George Street London.
Firstly, I found the seminar both enjoyable and tremendously instructive.
The overview given before going into the main FIDIC clauses provided a clear framework in which to interpret the detailed provisions. The systematic step by step approach with which you took us through the FIDIC conditions, combined with the interactive Group exercises, gave us all a practical appreciation of how the conditions work and the rights and obligations of the parties under a FIDIC contract.
I would recommend your course unreservedly to anyone wishing to gain a better understanding of the use and operation of these FIDIC conditions."

"It was a wonderful course to attend and probably the best delivered course on Contracts that I have been to, and I have been to a few."
