Dr. Nguyễn Trung Nam, representing EPLegal, attended a side event of HICAC 2026 titled “Lessons from Metro and Railway Projects: Practical Challenges and Opportunities in Contract and Risk Management”, held on 10 April 2026 in Ho Chi Minh City.
The event brought together a wide range of experts, policymakers, and project stakeholders in the infrastructure and construction sector, at a time when Vietnam is accelerating the development of large-scale metro and railway projects.
Key discussions focused on:
– Opportunities for metro and railway development amid the new wave of infrastructure investment
– Common challenges in contract management and risk allocation
– International practices and practical lessons in Vietnam regarding schedule control, cost management, and dispute resolution
A consistent theme throughout the discussion was the need for a systematic, lifecycle approach to contract and risk management. Early risk identification, effective risk allocation mechanisms, and well-structured dispute resolution processes were highlighted as critical factors in minimizing disputes and ensuring project success.
Dr. Nguyen Trung Nam’s participation reflects EPLegal’s continued focus on legal issues in the infrastructure and construction sector, particularly as projects grow in scale, complexity, and governance demands.
