RICS Dispute Resolution Service is the world’s oldest and largest provider of alternative dispute resolution services in the land, property and construction industries. 

For some industries the commitment to conflict avoidance is a recent development, so in this week’s episode of The RICS Podcast, John Fletcher (Director of Dispute Resolution) and Martin Burns (Head of ADR R&D) take a look at our initiatives to resolve issues and provide support for those who are looking to work with organisations committed to the same ethos of conflict avoidance.

This episode of The RICS Podcast covers:

• The startling costs of disputes that reach legal stages
• How to ensure that dispute provisions in a contract are sufficient
• Benefits to organisations signing our Conflict Avoidance Pledge
• Effects of the pandemic on the increased use of technology in our sector
