Construction and FIDIC
The firm provides legal support in preparation, review and interpretation of construction, design, supervision, works, subcontracting and other contracts connected with construction projects, and monitoring throughout the project. Where FIDIC models apply, legal analysis covers the relationship between contractual provisions, project documentation, engineer’s instructions, contractor’s claims, deadlines, variations, payments and dispute resolution mechanisms, as well as legal advice on issues arising during the project. Legal support can be important already at the documentation and contract stage, and especially during execution, when untimely or imprecise action may affect proof of claims, entitlement to additional payment or extension of time.
- construction, design, supervision and works contracts
- FIDIC contract models and related project documentation
- claims for extension of time and additional payment
- variations, instructions, interim certificates and payment confirmations
- contractual penalties, guarantees and security instruments
- subcontractor relations and liability of participants
- negotiations, settlements and disputes arising from construction projects
- preparation of documentation and representation before the Dispute Adjudication Board (DAB)
In construction matters, legal advice must follow the course of the project and documentation. Particular attention is paid to deadlines for notices, evidence, correspondence and compliance of conduct with the contract.
