Consortium agreements

Comprehensive advisory on consortium formation

We provide comprehensive legal support for consortia from the very first stages of their formation. We present potential operational scenarios to interested parties and help identify the associated risks. We prepare legal analyses regarding the planned venture and draft consortium agreements that precisely define the rights and obligations of each member.

Our experience includes legal services for various types of consortia: bilateral and multilateral, domestic and international, as well as those with different degrees of centralization. We have a proven track record of supporting consortia executing complex construction projects.

Analysis of financial issues related to the establishment of a consortium

The formation of a consortium is almost always aimed at the realization of a commercial venture; therefore, we pay particular attention to financial issues. We help consortium members shape their financial relations in a way that minimizes the risk of future disputes in this regard. As part of our assistance, we analyze, among other things, the issue of the creation of joint property, the rules for profit distribution, and the covering of incurred losses. We strive to develop rational solutions regarding the liability of consortium members toward each other or toward third parties.

Negotiation of contract terms and cooperation conditions

Representing one or more entities within a consortium, we assist in negotiating the terms of the agreement with the other members. We manage correspondence, participate in meetings, and provide in-depth legal analyses paired with proposed contractual clauses. By prioritizing the interests of the clients who trust us, we act to facilitate the effective implementation of the investment objective. We help develop procedures and cooperation principles designed to ensure the project proceeds without internal friction.

Representation of Consortium Members

Once a consortium is established, we provide continuous, ongoing legal support for consortium matters and represent the group in relations with both private and public entities. We prepare legal opinions on planned actions and assist in implementing the members’ adopted objectives.

We draft the necessary documentation for the appointment of a consortium proxy, ensuring that the public procurement process proceeds without internal tension. When representing the consortium in external relations, we consult our actions with all members. We organize internal communication, participate in representative meetings, and provide legal support for decision-making processes related to consortium management.

Disputes Arising from Consortium Agreements

We represent clients in both intra-consortium disputes and cases involving external parties. We seek solutions that safeguard our clients’ interests, ensure the uninterrupted performance of the investment, and mitigate risks associated with claims from investors or contracting authorities. We participate in negotiations, mediation, and arbitration. We draft statements of claim, appeals, and other procedural documents necessary for the case. We also prioritize maintaining professional relations between members at every stage of the dispute.
