Audit and optimization of construction contracts

Drafting and negotiating construction contracts

We help our clients determine what type of construction contract they need. We analyze plans related to the project and draft contractual provisions to help implement them. We conduct negotiations regarding the content of contracts and suggest compromise solutions that protect our clients’ interests. We provide detailed opinions on contracts or their specific provisions, taking into account the context of the entire construction project. We prepare addenda to existing contracts and present analyses of their impact on the project.

Assistance with various contracts

We provide legal support for all types of construction contracts, regardless of their value or subject matter. We assist in drafting and enforcing general contracting agreements, subcontracting agreements, partial works contracts, as well as renovation works. We have practical experience in drafting contracts for high-value projects. The industry-specific nature of construction means that individual contracts vary significantly. Therefore, we apply a tailored approach to every contract, focused on the objectives defined by our clients.

Construction contract – security

When drafting and negotiating construction contract provisions, we ensure our clients’ interests are appropriately protected. We advise on the form of security and establish mechanisms for its future enforcement. If the security requires supplementary agreements (e.g., bank guarantees), we manage the negotiations and prepare the relevant documentation. We also provide assistance in cases where the enforcement of previously established securities is required.

Oversight of contract execution

We support our clients throughout the entire contract performance period. We provide ongoing interpretation of disputed contract provisions and propose solutions aimed at minimizing any risks to the project. We analyze contracts for potential claims against counterparties and prepare defenses against such claims. If required by an authority or other authorized entity, we assist clients in drafting explanations regarding contract performance and other reporting documentation.

Termination and withdrawal from a construction contract

We analyze the consequences associated with the termination of or withdrawal from a construction contract. We assist in inventorying the works performed, preparing relevant reports, and securing the construction site. We draft notices of termination or withdrawal and submit them on behalf of our clients to the appropriate entities. We also provide assistance regarding claims for damages arising from the early termination of a construction contract.
