Construction

Our Construction team, described as having “excellent experience and knowledge of the relevant legal field, is very good value for money and is always available to assist”(Chambers and Partners, 2021) combines both contentious and non-contentious lawyers in one multi-disciplinary group, where skills and experiences are shared and associates are encouraged to gain experience in both front and back end construction work. We assist clients throughout the project life cycle of complex infrastructure and construction projects. This includes all stages of development and delivery and extends to financing and disputes under all forms of construction contracts. Our specialist construction and engineering lawyers serve clients ranging from employers, major contractors to promoters, leading developers, funders, purchasers, tenants and occupiers among others.

We have a thorough understanding of both bespoke and various international standard forms of contract, including FIDIC, the NEC, the JBCC (South African standard form contract) and the JBC (Kenyan standard form contract), along with a wealth of experience that cuts across multiple specialist sectors including energy, manufacturing, mining, real estate, transport, telecoms and utilities.

Our disputes expertise extends from mediation, arbitration and litigation to negotiating and structuring major settlement agreements, which often deal with interconnected and complex commercial and regulatory issues.
