We act for public and private clients on all aspects of public and private construction law, in particular public and private procurement, subcontracting, contract management and dispute prevention and resolution.
Our team of lawyers specialises in contract drafting, negotiation and management. It also deals with litigation and arbitration and produces legal opinions on a wide range of issues in the sector. These skills have led to our involvement in the most significant national and international projects.
We provide legal assistance to contractors, project owners and private developers in the preparation and negotiation of all project contracts and during their execution, focusing on risk and conflict mitigation and litigation prevention. Our team has experience in design, construction, operation, subcontracting, project management, supervision and safety coordination contracts under a wide range of regimes (lump sum, unit price, open book, back-to-back). We also advise public and private clients on the preparation of programmes of procedures, specifications and other documents relating to tendering procedures.
In terms of contract management from the contractor's perspective, we anticipate risks and sources of conflict, propose and prepare claims for time and cost, financial rebalancing, changes in circumstances, and force majeure. We also prepare strategies for responding to the application of fines.
