Keynote Speaker: Our Partner Mr. Jens Bürkle at the 1st Eastern European SCL Conference
We are pleased to announce that our partner, Mr. Jens Bürkle, attended the 1st Eastern European SCL Conference, which was hosted by SCL Serbia.
The conference brought together leading construction law and dispute resolution practitioners from Central and Eastern Europe and Turkey to exchange views on recent developments in the field. Mr Bürkle participated as a keynote speaker, addressing the topic of risk allocation in nuclear construction. In his speech, he highlighted that risk allocation in nuclear projects often requires tailoring contracts to the specific realities of each project, rather than relying on standard forms, due to the inherent complexity of such developments.
This topic is especially relevant in the current global context. As many countries seek to strengthen energy security and accelerate the transition to low-carbon energy sources, nuclear projects are receiving renewed attention. In this environment, effective risk allocation is essential to ensuring project bankability, timely delivery and long-term operational stability.
The subject was further examined during a panel discussion featuring experienced professionals from across the region who offered a broad range of perspectives and practical insights. These discussions emphasized the importance of carefully tailoring contractual arrangements to address the challenges associated with large-scale, technically complex projects.
