Disputes consume cash, management time and goodwill, and organisations that go into arbitration or mediation without a firm grasp of the numbers often settle too cheaply, fight too long or win awards they cannot afford to enforce. Five days equip finance, legal and contract professionals to manage the money side of disputes from the first notice of claim to final payment. You compare the cost structures of litigation, arbitration, mediation and adjudication, build case budgets and model institutional fee scales, deposits and security for costs under rules such as ICC, LCIA and UNCITRAL.
Quantum sessions cover expectation and reliance damages, lost profits, discounted cash flow valuation, diminution in value and pre- and post-award interest, along with working with forensic accountants and quantum experts. You then value settlement options using expected value and decision tree analysis, test BATNA positions for mediation, and examine third-party funding and costs allocation. The final day addresses provisions and contingent liabilities under IAS 37. In-house counsel, finance directors, contract and commercial managers, claims consultants and quantity surveyors will find it valuable. Afterwards you can prepare a defensible claim valuation and recommend a settlement range. Delivery is classroom, online or in-house, leading to a CPD-accredited certificate.
Commercial and investment disputes have become a routine feature of construction, energy, infrastructure and supply contracts, and their financial consequences reach far beyond legal fees. Expert costs, management time, delayed cash flows, interest and enforcement all affect the real value of a claim or defence, yet these figures are rarely brought together into a single view that boards and decision-makers can use.
The Financial Management for Arbitration, Mediation & Dispute Resolution Training Course provides that view over five days. It opens with the economics of disputes and a comparison of resolution routes, then moves into budgeting, funding options and cost control for arbitral and mediated proceedings. Participants then learn how damages and interest are quantified, how expert evidence on quantum is prepared and challenged, and how to analyse settlement offers rationally rather than emotionally. The programme closes with the accounting treatment of disputes, reporting to boards and the governance of a portfolio of claims.
Learning is case-based. Participants work on a fictional construction dispute that develops across the week, preparing a case budget, a damages calculation, a settlement analysis and a board briefing paper. No legal qualification is required, although familiarity with contracts and financial statements is helpful.
