Real estate, construction & contracts

Contractual risk, real estate and construction projects, and related disputes.

Real estate and construction projects

We advise on acquisition, disposal, development, construction and use of real estate. We review project documentation, legal restrictions, allocation of responsibility and risk before a transaction or construction works begin.

Construction and contractor disputes

We represent employers, contractors and other project participants in disputes over quality, defects, additional works, price, deadlines, liquidated damages, warranties and payment.

Real estate

We advise on sale and purchase, lease, easements, use, co-ownership and other real-estate matters.

Construction contracts

We draft and review construction and works contracts, allocate responsibility, address acceptance procedures, defects, price adjustments and delay risk.

Commercial contracts

We structure payment and security mechanisms, liability limitations, termination rights and dispute-resolution provisions with a focus on how the agreement will work if something goes wrong.

Contract law as risk management

A strong agreement should not merely describe the deal. It should determine what happens if performance is delayed, obligations are not met, the scope changes or unexpected circumstances arise. We therefore focus on liability, evidence, payment mechanisms, security and termination consequences.

That depends on the contract, how the works were instructed, whether they were necessary and how they were documented.
Scope, price and adjustment mechanisms, deadlines, acceptance, defects, liability and evidence procedures.
No. A practical agreement on use, buy-out or division may be more efficient where settlement is possible.
