Successful construction and infrastructure projects require expert legal advice from the onset. Our specialists advise on all aspects of construction/infrastructure and procurement, from the appointment of the professional team and the contractor, through to security for performance, partnering and other issues vital to ensure a successful project. During the contract negotiation stage, attention must also focus on ensuring that the respective commercial positions of the parties are given adequate regard in the contract documentation.

Our construction law team is deeply aware of the need to ensure that our client’s contract documentation is appropriate and appropriately utilized towards their commercial needs and concerns. We offer a seamless service including perfection of legal title (where applicable).

We have been involved in drafting construction contracts, advising our clients on the implications of the relevant contractual clauses and tendering construction claims. We have acted as Solicitor to the owner/constructor in respect of a project for the construction of housing estates, other commercial building and infrastructure projects. We provide efficient and pro-active solutions based on our knowledge of the commercial forces and legal aspects shaping construction projects.

Unresolved disputes can lead to considerable delay in timelines for completion of construction and infrastructure projects with adverse financial implications. We consider the ideal mechanism for resolving construction/infrastructure projects as mediation or negotiation. Our multi-tiered dispute resolution clauses specially drawn up in our client’s infrastructure and development contracts have impacted positively on avoiding unresolved disputes having negative implications on construction timelines. Our support during the lifespan of the project clauses has also provided the necessary guidance to clients.
