GJW Law Firm has been advising on the execution of construction projects for many years, providing comprehensive legal services for construction contracts and agreements based on FIDIC conditions. We represent both investors and contractors, ensuring that the concluded agreements are precise, enforceable, and appropriately protect our clients’ interests.
We draft and negotiate construction contracts, formulating provisions regarding the scope of works, schedules, handover procedures, the liability of the parties, price adjustment mechanisms, and dispute resolution methods. We review design documentation and technical specifications for consistency with the contract to minimize the risk of interpretative discrepancies during project execution.
During the performance of the contract, we support the amendment of construction contracts, including extensions of time (EOT), changes in technology, the introduction of additional works, or the adjustment of remuneration to changing market conditions. Our goal is to ensure the formal validity of the introduced changes so that they do not become a source of disputes in the future.
GJW Law Firm provides comprehensive legal support for various agreements related to the investment process, both at the stage of their conclusion and during performance. We advise on performance security, including bank and insurance guarantees, security deposits, retention money mechanisms, and other forms of collateral. We negotiate contract terms, draft appropriate contractual provisions, and represent clients in claims enforcement—both in pre-litigation and court proceedings.
During the execution of works, we interpret contract provisions, advise on changes to the scope of work, and prepare addenda (extensions of time, price indexation, technological changes). We also draft correspondence and complaints, and analyze claims regarding delays or defects.
In crisis situations, we conduct analyses of the legal grounds and consequences of terminating a construction contract. We draft notices and settlement documentation, advise on securing the construction site, and represent clients in disputes over damages and payment, both in negotiations and before administrative bodies.
In the event of conflicts, we represent clients in amicable, arbitration, and court proceedings. We handle cases regarding liquidated damages, settlements for additional works, defects in performed works, and claims related to delays or work stoppages. Our approach combines legal knowledge with a practical understanding of the construction process, allowing us to effectively build arguments and defend our clients’ positions.
Our strength lies in a team of highly qualified legal advisors and lawyers who have chosen construction law not only as a professional specialization but also as a pursuit of their own interests and passions. Every construction lawyer in our team is distinguished not only by an in-depth knowledge of regulations but also by a practical understanding of the realities of construction investments. As a result, our experts support clients at all stages of project implementation with full commitment and the highest level of professionalism.
Thanks to many years of practice in the construction sector, we are able to foresee potential risks and propose solutions that minimize the likelihood of their occurrence. We treat every construction contract individually, keeping in mind both the client’s business goals and the specific nature of the project.
