Construction

The construction industry is our home. We are construction-law nerds who know the reality the law has to work in. From the first strategic choices until the project stands finished.

We are at home in the site hut, understand the technology and can read a construction schedule. We know what you mean when you talk about design management, DGNB or beaver-tail tiles.

We write books on construction law and use our legal knowledge in interplay with a deep understanding of the many disciplines of construction.

Because a construction project has to hold together on several levels. The agreements must create clear frameworks for responsibility, finances and collaboration, and the legal decisions must work in practice.

We know the law and the reality it has to work in

We advise throughout the entire construction process. From the first strategic choices and the drafting of agreements to handling changes, delays and disputes along the way.

We work closely with the project's parties and bring our legal expertise and our understanding of organization and collaboration into play when it is relevant. So there is a clear basis for making decisions and moving the project forward.

Our advice includes:

→ Organization, strategy and choice of contract model

We advise on organization, agreement strategy and the choice of contract model based on the project's needs, risks and complexity. When relevant, we bring in our experts in organization and collaboration.
 

→ Tenders 

We plan and run tenders with a focus on the project's needs, the competition and the rules that apply to the specific tender.
 

→ Agreements 

We draft and negotiate construction and consultancy agreements that create clear frameworks for responsibility, risk allocation and collaboration. With a focus on the matters that come to matter during the project's execution.
 

→ Ongoing sparring and advice

We help handle the legal questions that arise along the way. From changes and delays to disagreements about payment, additional work and defects. Often a phone call or a meeting is enough to create clarity about the next step.
 

→ Dispute resolution and arbitration cases

We help clarify disagreements about time, payment, additional work, defects and liability.
 

→ Insolvencies 

When a contractor or consultant goes bankrupt, we help clarify the legal consequences and create the basis for the project to move on.
