How can construction companies protect themselves when it comes to payment disputes and contracts? Gavin discusses avoidance of payment issues with guest Martin Burns from the Royal Institution of Chartered Surveyors.

He highlights the simplicity and affordability of adjudication compared to court proceedings.
Martin has over 30 years of experience in dispute resolution. He works to help businesses, organisations, and governments avoid, manage, and resolve disputes out of court.
