Nuclear PSG webinar: Conflict avoidance on major projects

This webinar took place on 10 June 2025 and is now available on-demand.

This is the second in a series of regular seminars delivered by the members of the Nuclear Professional Services Group (PSG), who have direct or transferrable experience of advising owners, contractors and subcontractors in the nuclear industry. 

The on-demand webinar provides engaging, relevant and useful knowledge to help businesses and partners through their nuclear journey. This webinar discusses the work of the Conflict Avoidance Coalition, the objectives of the Conflict Avoidance Pledge, and the complimentary RICS Conflict Avoidance Process. It also highlights the recently published NEC Conflict Avoidance Practice Note, which provides guidance on NEC’s own conflict avoidance clauses and so is particularly relevant to major new-build nuclear projects in the UK.

This seminar series, hosted in collaboration with the Nuclear PSG, forms an integral part of our efforts to support the entire nuclear sector, encompassing new build, decommissioning, and defence initiatives.
