Managing successful project delivery through effective contract procurement and management.

We put in place clear contractual structures and agreements between all the parties to successfully deliver your project.

Each project requires careful consideration of procurement strategy, risk allocation and sector specific requirements. We advise across real estate, energy, infrastructure, utilities, health care, education, retail, hospitality and leisure to ensure that appropriate terms are negotiated and agreed.

We advise on all the major standard forms of contract, including JCT, NEC, FIDIC, ICC, iChemE, RIBA, ACE, in addition to project specific and PFI/PPP contracts. The range of construction documentation on which we advise includes:

  • Professional consultant appointments
  • Building contracts and fit out works contracts
  • Construction management and trade contracts
  • Framework agreements
  • Operation and maintenance agreements
  • Facility management agreements
  • Collateral warranties and third-party rights
  • Bonds and guarantees
  • Project bank accounts
  • Letters of reliance
  • Novation agreements
  • Vesting certificates
  • Construction obligations in agreements for lease and development agreements
  • PFI/PPP suite of contracts

We advise developers, funders, landowners and all parties in the supply chain so we understand the commercial, legal and technical considerations important to clients and necessary to deliver successful, on time and on budget projects.
