Projects, Infrastructure & Construction

We are specialists in assessing risk and advising you, using clear language to describe to you what that risk looks like, whether it appears fair and how it compares with risks taken by others in your chosen market or sector, as well as how you might manage that risk. We can also offer a view on reward and how that might be better attained and shared with your clients, customers and stakeholders. We offer all the usual legal routes to assessing, managing and mitigating risk and protecting your business, such as negotiation, mediation, adjudication, arbitration and litigation.

We understand complex funding, cross-collateralised security structures and project finance and can provide you with strategic, commercially-astute advice on contracting structures, finance and procurement methodology. We will provide support and advice on all commercial agreements that might sit around your projects. We can assist you with frameworks, services contracts, supply of goods, IT, project finance and payment security, confidentiality agreements and other commercial arrangements. For your construction and engineering projects, we are experts in the use of JCT, NEC, FIDIC, IChemE standard forms of contract.

We offer support, insight and strategic advice. Our legal experts work across multiple industry sectors, including energy (conventional and renewable), infrastructure, advanced manufacturing and technology, leisure, retail, education and real estate. We understand that things can go wrong, often quite unexpectedly, meaning you might need specialists on your team who are responsive and, above all, who you can trust. If they do go wrong, we will support you and deal with risks as they arise, or when you might have a serious and significant disagreement with others. We work with you to craft strategies that avoid disputes and protect your business, over both the immediate and longer term.
