We can advise you on all aspects of projects & construction and project financing.
We are experienced in structuring and establishing partnership models, conducting due diligence reviews, coordinating projects, and drafting and negotiating the full spectrum of bankable project documents and financing and security agreements. We have a proven track record in standardising and managing vast contract portfolios to promote a controlled legal setup within procurement organisations and execution phases of complex standalone projects.
Our priority is to help you prevent resource-intensive and lengthy litigation after a project is completed. This is why we take a full lifecycle approach — emphasising the proper implementation of a signed contract package, following up on contract management aspects during execution from a claim mitigation standpoint, and supporting you in contentious issues potentially arising during execution. We work closely together with our Dispute Resolution Team both to prevent disputes at the contract drafting stage and to resolve disputes efficiently should they arise at the execution phase.
When providing legal advice, we think of your business interests first. With our broad expertise, we proactively work with your strategic goals in mind, making sure that your legal and business interests are aligned. We always tailor the team to the needs of your matter and bring in experts from other practice groups at the firm where needed.
The Projects & Construction Team is a part of our Real Assets Practice, which is a multi-disciplinary group of experienced lawyers whose expertise cuts across energy, infrastructure, real estate, construction, environment, and projects.
