Raising the ESG bar in construction law: challenges and opportunities for construction law professionals
Armando Castro, together with Mohamad El Daouk, has been published in the second edition of Construction Law Quarterly for 2025 (Proceedings of the Institution of Civil Engineers – Management, Procurement and Law).

It identifies critical gaps, such as inconsistent ESG standards and training shortages, that hinder the adoption of ESG practices.

The paper emphasises the need for standardisation, training, and collaboration.
