Date: Wednesday 22 April 2026
Time: 09:00 - 11:00
Location: Freeths LLP London Office, 1 Vine Street, London, W1J 0 AH
Contract interpretation, additional compensation, termination and dispute resolution in a cross-border context.
Drawing on examples from our legal practice and cross-border disputes, we will highlight the main differences between the German and English legal systems.
The focus will be on:
- Common law vs civil code and contractual interpretation
- Force majeure and frustration
- Additional remuneration (change orders/extension of the construction period)
- Termination and repudiation
- Dispute resolution methods
Speakers
Daniel Schwab from Baker Tilly will be joining the panel alongside Alex Johnson and Emily Leonard, contributing his insights on the German perspective of international construction disputes under German law.
