Introduction by Chantal-Aimée Doerries KC and Professor Doug Jones AO 

The first edition of the 2025 International Construction Law Review arms readers with a panoply of insights across a range of topics. The first half begins with the classic issues of force majeure, FIDIC time bars and liquidated damages. We then take a theoretical detour to examine how existential questions about AI and climate change will necessarily reshape the way business and government regulations are designed. The final three articles return to more concrete considerations, featuring deep-dives into regional developments in the UK and the Antipodes, as well as a review of the latest edition of the aptly named text, “Construction Law”.
