About

Provided by Bell Gully

We offer a comprehensive range of legal services to the construction industry. We routinely advise on all aspects of construction and development projects, including commercial structuring, procurement, risk identification and mitigation, preparation and negotiation of documentation, contract administration and dispute resolution. We are familiar with all the usual forms of construction contracts and consultancy agreements and have expert understanding of the role, purpose and effect of special conditions. We frequently draft and negotiate bespoke project agreements and are adept at finding the best contractual solution to suit our client’s requirements.

We act for principals, contractors, consultants, suppliers and funders in transactional and contentious work on some of New Zealand’s most significant construction, development and infrastructure projects. We are acutely aware of the broader dynamics and cycles of the New Zealand construction industry and pride ourselves on delivering pragmatic, “best for project” advice which protects the interests of our clients and also facilitates project delivery.

Our knowledge and approach is based on years of experience working on a wide variety of major projects in both New Zealand and internationally across various different sectors.
