About

Provided by Rose LLP

The construction lawyers at Rose LLP are market leaders and have the depth of knowledge and experience to work on the most complex projects and aspects of construction law. In particular, our group is unique in terms of its size and its focus on the development of Alberta's oil sands and other key infrastructure. Our construction lawyers function in a close working group to assist clients in all facets of construction projects from inception to completion, including procurement strategies, risk management and allocation, the preparation of project delivery documents and dispute resolution, including litigation, mediation, arbitration and negotiated settlements.

Working from front-end to the resolution of claims and disputes we have experience in all aspects of complex industrial, oil and gas, commercial and institutional construction projects.

Two of our construction lawyers are members (and one is a  past governor) of the Canadian College of Construction Lawyers, an organization "dedicated to excellence in the specialized practice of construction law".

Peter Vetsch is an Alberta-based partner at Rose, who demonstrates considerable strength handling non-contentious issues in the construction space. He is notably adept at advising clients on contract drafting and negotiations, as well as procurement matters, often in the energy sector.

I can't say enough good things about Peter and his approach to complex contracts. He is responsive, detailed and always ensures the risks are fully evaluated. I really enjoy working with him.

Peter brings passion and dedication to his work and remains current and relevant in the work he does.

Peter provides an exceptional level of client service and has great commercial awareness. He is able to ensure that the commercial terms of the agreement track with the risk profile.

I believe that Peter's extensive in-house experience allows him to provide legal advice that is both very thorough, but also practical and easily digestible by non-legal audiences.
