Whether you’re in the building, construction or engineering industries, your legal work requires lawyers with a deep understanding of the risks and stages of both the building & construction and property development processes and the ability to apply this understanding to: - negotiating, drafting and managing entry into effective development and construction contracts which meet your commercial requirements
- advising you on potential claims and disputes with a view to maximising your position while minimising expenditure on costly disputes
- acting in whatever dispute resolution process is contractually required or appropriate to your situation.
Our clients
We truly understand these industries and we have the ability and confidence to apply this understanding to everything our clients need us to do particularly when we negotiate, draft, review contracts, advise on claims and litigate.
Our Services
We provide advice in a number of key areas:
- Drafting/negotiation of contracts for commercial, industrial, retail and residential developments and transport infrastructure.
- Advising on key legislation affecting the construction and transport industries, particularly Security of Payment.
- Advice on tendering, probity, project briefs and contractual arrangements between the public and private sector.
- Risk reviews of contract documentation for bid purposes including drafting lists of exclusions, clarifications.
- Drafting and negotiating joint-venture agreements and alliance contracts.
- Advising on contract management, compliance, risk management and performance monitoring.
- Early intervention strategies to avoid unnecessary litigation.
- Dispute resolution in all major jurisdictions.
When we work with you we focus on providing comprehensive and strategically sound advice. We maintain a consistent focus on the commercial outcomes you need to achieve and we work to reduce your costs in a number of ways - through efficient entry into and management of contracts, identifying issues before they reach crisis and active dispute resolution. The result for you is the reduction of court litigation, management time and, subsequently, costs. [back to top]
