Thomas Ho Thomas is a construction lawyer in the Construction and Advisory Disputes Group of Pinsent Masons Hong Kong, focusing on non-contentious construction and engineering matters. He specializes in drafting and negotiating engineering procurement and construction (EPC) and design build and operation (DBO) in international projects and Hong Kong domestic projects in the energy, transport and infrastructure sectors, as well as project management matters. Thomas has written in the International Construction Law Review on the use of liquidated damages, for which his essay "Against Cavendish: Towards a Procedural Conception of the Penalty Doctrine" was awarded the Society of Construction Law Australia's Brooking Prize in 2016 for the best essay submitted in the field of construction law. He has also written for the Building Dispute Practitioners Society Newsletter on the interpretation of construction management contracts. Abstract For main contractors, passing of appropriate risks onto subcontractors is an important part of risk management. He will want to pass on as much of the risks associated with any subcontracted portions of the works as possible, in order to reduce his own exposure to employer. Where appropriate risks are passed, it ensures that the person best able to control the risk also has the strongest incentive to control the risk. Against this context, the seminar endeavours to explore effective ways of subcontracting and imposing obligations on the subcontractor on a "back to back" basis.
