How to resolve a $1,000,000+ construction dispute without going to court?
When a conflict arises in a project involving payments, deadlines, and the quality of work, it can easily escalate into lengthy legal proceedings — especially when state-affiliated companies are involved and every decision must go through multiple layers of approval.
Recently, a non-resident client approached us with such a case: a serious dispute between a Belarusian and a foreign company over the implementation of a construction project. Beyond the existing disagreements, both parties foresaw significant risks in continuing the project, with potential claims likely to grow and drag on for years.
What did our team — Alexander Antonov, Sergey Sushchenya, and Irina Navitskaya — do?
- Facilitated negotiations
We created a constructive space for dialogue, helped the parties clearly articulate their positions, and guided them toward mutually acceptable solutions.
- Developed a balanced mediation agreement
Instead of proceeding with the litigation initiated by the counterparty, we proposed mediation. The final agreement included payment terms, mutual obligations, and a waiver of future claims — provided the conditions of the agreement were met.
- Preserved business relationships
Resolving the dispute out of court helped avoid escalation and maintain working relations between the companies.
Why does this matter for business?
- Speed – the entire process took significantly less time than litigation and a construction and technical expert review.
- Reputation – the parties stayed in control and avoided a public dispute.
- Cost-efficiency – no court proceedings, no expert fees, no lengthy battles, and no reputational damage — plus, a refund of the state fee.
- Process control – both parties fully understood the terms and reached a voluntary agreement.
