About

Provided by Baker McKenzie

Our construction team is widely recognised in the market for its deep expertise in both front-end and back-end construction matters. We have a solid market reputation for providing commercially realistic risk assessments, project structuring, administration advice, as well as preparing and reviewing tenders and contracts (standard form and tailored) on time and on budget and providing innovative advice on these issues.

Advising on construction and engineering disputes is also a key strength of our team. Our experience includes the conduct of complex construction and engineering disputes, the development of alternative dispute resolution techniques and procedures, and using innovative processes to help resolve disputes as early as possible. We also have excellent experience in assisting clients during the delivery phase of projects. This involves responding to claims, extensions of time, variations and other claims made during the construction of a project.
