Clear and pragmatic advice during the implementation of your project

Our team has significant experience in assisting our clients during the implementation of a project, by providing clear and pragmatic advice in relation to all aspects of contract interpretation and administration, and offering targeted assistance on claims processes, variation procedures, SOPA requirements and other key elements of the contractual framework.

We have extensive experience in assisting our clients to manage legal, commercial and technical issues arising under the project documents, and providing ongoing advisory services where projects have commenced, and construction is underway.

Dispute management and avoidance during the project phase is an important part of the services we offer.
