In large projects, agreements, suppliers and decisions have to work together. We create an overview of the legal and commercial risks and set a clear direction throughout the project.

Large production facilities and laboratory buildings are often delivered in collaboration with international consultants, contractors and specialist suppliers. The contractual basis can be decisive. Is the project based on AB, FIDIC or something else? Several contract regimes are often part of the same project. At the same time, the schedule is critical. Delays can affect when the facility can be put into operation, and in projects with extensive requirements for testing, approval and validation, even minor shifts can have major consequences.

“The complexity lies in the interfaces between the agreements, the suppliers’ responsibilities and the decisions that have to be made as the project progresses.”

The legal and contractual framework has to support project management, procurement and steering committees in making the right decisions. At the same time, it is crucial to know which insurance the project requires and what it actually covers.

A clear strategy and calm in the process

The legal strategy has to fit with the goals, risks and the commercial reality. That is why we look at agreements, collaboration and risks together and adjust the direction when the conditions change.

We translate complex legal and commercial issues into clear recommendations and concrete next steps. The strategy is followed and adjusted continuously as new parties join, the framework changes or disagreements arise.

Our advice includes

 → Project strategy

We provide strategic advice throughout the project and help identify risks, opportunities and next steps. We turn this into a clear direction that can be adjusted as the project develops.

→ Contracts and procurement tactics

We help choose and structure the contract model that suits the project’s parties and risks. Among other things, we draft and negotiate construction contracts based on AB, FIDIC, NLM and Orgalime.

→ Collaboration agreements with early involvement

We create the framework for national and international parties to be involved early, with clear shared goals for the project.

→ Contract and Claims management

We help manage agreements, changes, claims and delays throughout the project. This brings structure to the ongoing handling and makes it possible to identify legal and commercial risks early.

→ Dispute resolution

We set a clear strategy for the dispute and handle the case with an eye to the legal position, the project’s progress and the commercial outcome.
