Construction
Our practice, which includes litigation as well as advisory and compliance work, is headed by lawyers with specialized training and experience covering both local and international construction projects of varying sizes. We have a diverse range of clients including owners, contractors, subcontractors, engineers, architects and suppliers. We have been involved at all stages of construction including financing, project management, and the design and construction of such varied undertakings as retail building, residential estates, ultra-modern commercial offices, modern markets, gas and power plants, pipelines and gathering systems, water and environmental engineering projects, transportation projects etc.
We routinely structure, draft and negotiate a wide array of construction contracts, including EPC, EPCM contracts and Public-Private Partnerships. Our experience and market knowledge enables us to provide practical, timely and effective legal support throughout the construction process, offering advice on minimizing risk and providing solutions to complex problems specific to the particular project. Our construction litigators are experienced in providing advice at the contract stage with a view to better positioning a client when disputes arise. We work as an integrated team to meet the full range of our clients’ project needs.
