The main theme was selected under the circumstances that more employers tend to impose larger amount of liability on consulting engineers in oversea projects.

Though risk management is considered as an important matter for consulting practice, majority of participants were not aware of risk management on legal and insurance aspects. We found some of participants’ surprise as they were informed of various risks through the seminar. As can be seen in CE industry in other developed countries, we have to start integrating legal and insurance considerations in domestic and oversea projects. It seemed that the seminar could provide a chance to realize various risks and useful countermeasures.
