Construction disputes are among the most complex forms of commercial disputes, often involving multiple parties, interconnected contracts, highly technical issues, and extensive documentary evidence. As construction projects continue to increase in scale and sophistication, arbitration has become the preferred dispute resolution mechanism for many industry participants due to its flexibility, confidentiality, and ability to accommodate specialized expertise. At the same time, the effective resolution of construction disputes requires lawyers, arbitrators, and experts to navigate unique procedural challenges, from tribunal constitution and document management to expert evidence and complex multi-party proceedings.
As part of
VIAC’s Arbitration Series – VAS Crossover 2026, the first webinar on
“Specialised Arbitration in Focus – Topic 01: Construction Arbitration” will explore key procedural and practical issues arising in construction disputes, drawing on both international best practices and domestic experience. The webinar will discuss key developments in construction arbitration, including the new VIAC Rules of Arbitration 2026, particularly provisions on joinder and consolidation, evidence and document management, the use of experts; and recent updates under Vietnam’s Construction Law 2025. Combining legal analysis with practical perspectives, the session aims to provide a comprehensive overview of the evolving landscape of construction arbitration and the tools available for resolving increasingly complex construction disputes.

VIAC'S ARBITRATION SERIES 2026 - A series of Talk shows on Specialised Arbitration
INTRODUCTION
As commercial transactions become increasingly complex, cross-border and sector-specific, arbitration is expected to respond not only as a dispute resolution mechanism, but also as a practical framework capable of addressing the evolving legal, technical and commercial realities of modern disputes. This requires arbitration users and practitioners to develop a more specialised, practice-oriented and interdisciplinary understanding of dispute resolution. In this context, Vietnam International Arbitration Centre (VIAC) and ADR Vietnam Chambers (ADRVN) will co-organize the VIAC’s Arbitration Series – VAS Crossover 2026, a series of talk shows on specialised arbitration.
Through a series of thematic sessions, VAS Crossover 2026 will examine key areas of specialised arbitration, including international trade (CISG), construction, M&A, finance, and maritime law. The programme will also introduce relevant updates in Vietnam’s arbitration lanscape, including the VIAC Rules of Arbitration 2026, while connecting domestic practice with regional and international perspectives. Ultimately, VAS Crossover 2026 seeks to foster a more informed, practice-oriented, and connected arbitration community in Vietnam.
