Wendy Venoit will speak on the “Blueprint to Deal Architecture: Contract Design, Local Realities, and Risk in International Construction Arbitration” panel at the 2026 ICDR Dispute Resolution Conference. Wendy and the other panelists will examine how foreign companies can navigate jurisdiction-specific legal and commercial realities while re-engineering contracts to mitigate geopolitical risk, supply chain disruptions, and regulatory changes. They will also discuss evolving approaches to force majeure, MAC, and stabilization clauses; the strategic use of multi-tiered dispute resolution systems; and how thoughtful dispute design and institutional innovation can prevent conflicts, allocate risk more effectively, and support durable, bankable global deals.
