Our Partner, N.G. Vinod, was honoured to join fellow panellists at “The Road to Kairos: The Johor Edition”, organised by AIAC on 29 September 2025.
In the session “Getting the Right Start: Dispute Avoidance in Johor’s Infrastructure Boom”, he shared how well-drafted construction contract clauses are not just formalities, but essential tools for dispute avoidance.
Key points included:
▪️The importance of clear payment terms to address delayed or non-payment issues.
▪️Certification and retention money clauses that ensure cash flow certainty.
▪️Variation clauses that provide clarity when project scopes evolve.
As Johor’s development accelerates, these fundamentals remain vital to building fair, balanced, and enforceable contracts that keep projects on track.
Our thanks to Asian International Arbitration Centre for bringing together industry voices to address these important issues.
