Construction
Contracts, procurement, project approvals and dispute resolution for employers, contractors and consultants.
Overview
Construction projects bring together owners, contractors, consultants and lenders, each with different risks. We help them agree clear contracts and resolve disputes efficiently when they arise.
We draft and negotiate construction, EPC and consultancy contracts, including FIDIC-based forms, subcontracts, performance bonds and guarantees. We advise on public procurement under the Public Procurement Act 2007, public-private partnerships and concessions, and planning and building approvals.
When disputes arise over delay, variations, defects or payment, we represent clients in adjudication, arbitration and litigation, and we advise on avoiding disputes through proper notices and record-keeping.
