On the dispute side, Pavle advises on issues such as delay claims, deficiencies, designer negligence, fee disputes, construction liens and breach of trust actions. His arbitration experience includes disputes under the International Chamber of Commerce (ICC), ADR Institute of Canada (ADRIC) and ad hoc rules.
